What does “factory refurbished” mean?
In general, factory refurbished products are products that wouldn’t otherwise be sold as brand new, for a variety of reasons. They may have been factory seconds, used in sales displays at trade shows, overstocked goods or customer returns.  As a result, factory refurbished products may come with minor blemishes, tho this is not usually the case with NZ Laptops stock, we buy only the best quality and condition factory refurbished goods in order to pass on the best quality and savings to our customers.
