A Warranty You Can Rely on!

At Gadget Centre, we provide a GENUINE and DEPENDABLE warranty you can trust.

Unfortunately, we all know too well that many online sellers throw around the word ‘warranty’ in vain without providing any real details on coverage, “warranty this, warranty that”, but when push comes to shove, they leave customers high and dry, failing to fulfil their obligations.

That’s why we’ve created our Repair Or Replace warranty. With this inclusive coverage, you’ll never feel abandoned. Our warranty ensures a FREE repair service (including parts and labour) or a FREE replacement laptop when a repair isn’t possible. Enjoy comprehensive coverage at a fraction of the cost of traditional high-street insurance plans. Feel secure knowing that the thought of buying a new laptop and the hassle that comes with it, won’t need to cross your mind during the warranty period, be it 1, 2 or 3 years down the line!

The Genuine Deal!

All our refurbished laptops are from top brands like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, and Lenovo, and are thoughtfully chosen based on availability. While there’s an element of surprise in the specific brand you’ll receive, you can trust that you’ll only get the best of the best household name brands, as that’s everything in the selection pool we have to pick from. Ensuring a quality refurbished laptop regardless of the selection. Expect a full-sized laptop complete with all the features and ports you’d expect (HDMI/DP, USB, Audio Jacks, Ethernet, SD slot, etc), providing you with everything you need from a high-performance machine. No tricks, no gimmicks, no catches. At Gadget Centre, it’s just the genuine deal every time. Our laptops go through an intensive testing protocol.

Fast, Reliable, and Efficient!

At Gadget Centre, we pride ourselves on building laptops tailored to your needs, with only the highest-performing components. Our laptops feature top-tier processors such as Intel Core i3, i5, and i7, and we avoid using lower-end processors like Pentium or Celeron. We also only use the highest-grade RAM to ensure maximum performance and power. With our laptops, you’re guaranteed speed and efficiency, or your money back! To further enhance performance, we exclusively equip our laptops with Solid State Drives (SSDs), leaving behind the outdated mechanical spinning hard drives (HDDs). SSDs provide a remarkable speed boost, 10x to 20x faster than HDDs, making a noticeable difference in loading times, boot-up times, and overall system responsiveness. While HDDs can take 1:30 to 2:30+ minutes to boot up after a shutdown, an SSD-equipped laptop takes only 10 to 20 seconds! That’s one less tea/coffee you need to make yourself while you wait for your laptop to load. This means you can dive right into your work or entertainment without waiting around for your laptop to catch up. We’ve phased out HDDs completely because they’re more prone to failures and performance issues than SSDs. With no moving parts, SSDs are more resilient to impact damage, magnetic fields, and other factors that can harm traditional HDDs. Although SSDs are more expensive to manufacture, we believe our customers deserve the best, and that’s why we include them in all our laptops.

Ready to Use Out of the Box!

All our laptops arrive ready for action fresh out of the box, pre-installed with Windows OS, updated drivers, office programs, VLC player, and Google Chrome. No need to wait for installations – just get started right away from the second you turn on your laptop for the first time!

One Size Fits All!

All our laptops come in classic standard colours, like Black, White, Grey or Silver. We don’t sell any flashy colours like Yellow, Green, Purple etc. We do this so that we can appeal to all our customers with standardised uniform colours, instead of focusing on very specific colours that only some will like. Meaning that although brand/models are picked at random, you can be confident that the colour of your laptop will be one of the widely popular and elegant options we offer.

‘Right to Try’ – Free, Open & Transparent Return Policy

We proudly offer a “Right to Try” return policy, we’re one of the very few businesses doing so, allowing you to purchase worry-free. If, for any reason, you decide to return the laptop, you can do so without any hassle or lengthy processes. Our return policy even covers simple buyer’s remorse. Thus, if you simply just changed your mind, or had another look at your finances, you’re always covered! Experience the flexibility of trying before committing, just like trying on a pair of shoes! Enjoy our open and transparent return policy.

Trading Since 2018 – Trustworthy & Reliable

From our humble beginnings as a small part-time seller on eBay back in 2018, listing a couple of electronics here and there. To an established reputable laptop refurbisher with thousands of happy customers, Gadget Centre has come a long way. We’re not a “here today, gone tomorrow” business, meaning that you can count on us years down the line, this ensures you can remain confident knowing you can expect full service throughout your whole warranty term. We’re on a mission to give every piece of neglected tech a new home, we’re not going anywhere and are here to stay.

I trusted you lot. Warranty card comes with the box incase I need to return it. Love it, thank you x

    Absolutely fantastic service and products. I couldn’t be happier with my machine, decent onboard graphics, fantastic RAM (16GB), i7 2.8GHz and it is so wonderfully quiet. Opted for 3yr warranty too cos why not! Really no downside.

  • neeli-786 [eBay]

    My he delivery was very quick, came in a really strong box with lots of protection. The laptop is big but better as the screen is big too, has lots of memory to store everything in. Super fast to work on. Would recommend to others! To the top everything I also have one year warranty which includes repairs and labour and if needed to replace the whole laptop with another laptop! All this for only £200! Looking at these type in retail costing around £400-£500 with the money! Excellent service A+++

  • sunshboy [eBay]

    I am really impressed with my new (refurbished) laptop. It has arrived in ‘as new’ condition and is lightning fast. I have purchased the 3 year warranty so, should any problems occur, I have the backup of the Gadget Centre. It comes pre-loaded with Office (you do need to buy a subscription if you wish to use it for more than 30 days (obvs)) and Chrome so you are ready to ‘go’ straight after unpacking. The battery life seems pretty good too. I am really pleased with my new ‘toy’!

  • stylomasaai1

FAQ

As our laptops are all professionally refurbished & renewed, it means that there will always be some light signs of past usage. However, we have a cosmetic grading system in place to grade our laptop’s general condition. The grades are A+, A, B, and C.

 

Grade A+ : Pristine
Grade A : Nearly new / minor use
Grade B : Good
Grade C : Heavy marks

 

As a rule of thumb, we only sell laptops that score between Grade A+ / Grade B cosmetically. All other laptops that score outside this range are repurposed in our recycling process, such as being broken down for parts, and aren’t sold to customers.

You may input custom requests which you wish us to consider when prepping your laptop. This can include :
• Preferred colour
• Preferred brand
• Preferred keyboard layout
• Additional ports
• Any other specific requirements

 

When you get to the last page of checkout, it’ll give you an option to add a note/message to your order. Simply add a message with your requirements. We’ll see this note on our end when your order comes through and will process it accordingly.

 

Please note that custom requests which go beyond the drop-down options available are simply preferences, and can not be 100% guaranteed. Although we’ll act in best faith and attempt to accommodate where possible.
(Drop-down options remain fully guaranteed and certain)

Models/brands are picked at random when an order comes through. We refurbish laptops from Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Lenovo and others. During the refurbishment process, we will prep the laptop with your desired specs(CPU/RAM/SSD) along with any other requests.

 

We use common sense to determine the nicest looking laptops that will appeal to the general public, regardless of personal taste. E.g: modern looking, not too thick/bulky, minor marks, etc.

 

All our laptops come in standard colours (black/white/grey/silver). We avoid flashy colours like green/purple/red, etc. Thus, we can appeal to everyone with the standardised uniform colours, instead of focusing on very specific colours that only some will like.

 

For extra reassurance, we’ve got a super flexible and generous “Right To Try” return policy. More details on this can be found on the product page.

The first section of options (CPU / RAM / Storage) are the physical parts(specs) that will be going into the laptop. These parts have a direct impact on performance and speed. Below we will provide a brief and simplified definition of what each one means, without getting into too much IT technicalities and jargon.

 

CPU:
The CPU(also known as the processor) is the central hub chip of the computer. As the name suggests, this is what is responsible for processing tasks, some like to call it the “brain” of the computer.

 

RAM:
RAM is the memory allocated strictly to the system for its own usage.
(Unlike storage, which is allocated for personal files)
The more RAM a computer has, the more “breathing space” it has to do certain tasks, for example, having multiple browsing tabs and programs open, and other multitasking abilities. For instance, RAM can be viewed as “fast brain memory” required for doing tasks & jobs, on the other hand, storage is more like a “backpack” to store your personal belongings.

 

Storage:
As mentioned above, storage is the amount of capacity allocated to your personal files. If you’re someone who downloads a lot of large files like movies, music, etc, then you’re going to want more storage to ensure you don’t run out of space.

All our laptops come with the standard ports you’d expect on any laptop. Multiple USB ports (2.0 & 3.0), HDMI/DP port, audio jack port(both microphone & sound), ethernet port, SD card reader, etc. If there is anything we’d like to focus on in particular, this is possible. When you get to the last page of checkout, it’ll give you the option to add a note/message to your order. Simply add a message saying, for example: “Ensure the SD card reader fully working”. We’ll see this note on our end when your order comes through and will process it accordingly.

Yes, all our laptops come with the operating system pre-installed. Simply pick from Windows 10 or 11 when choosing your options.

If you have selected a shorter warranty period (e.g: 1 year) and wish to extend it after purchase, you can do so by contacting us.
(We will charge you the difference for the new warranty period)

When it comes down to gaming, most games rely a lot on the GPU (graphics card), while some older entry-level games reply more on CPU.

 

Like most laptops, the GPU will be on-board integrated graphics, as part of the CPU. The majority of mainstream laptops do not have a dedicated separate graphics card like desktop PCs, apart from laptops specifically designed and marketed as ‘gaming laptops’ on the market. However, these ‘gaming laptops’ are usually in a totally different price band (£600 – £900+). While our main focus is around refurbishing budget laptops(£190 – £390) that can still do high-powered heavy duty processing, especially with our Intel Core i7 range. Integrated on-board graphics as part of the CPU, is suitable for most entry-level games, but not the highest-end graphic demanding games.

 

A good call to action would be if you could provide us with a quick brief list of the games/programs you plan on running. We can then look up their system requirements online and see if we got anything in stock that matches it before you place your order.

If you wish to buy large amounts of laptops from us, please contact us regarding trade discounts.

Currently we only ship to the United Kingdom.

We dispatch all our orders via tracked express carriers (DPD/UPS), meaning that you can keep an eye on your parcel while it makes it’s way to you. In addition to that, all orders are sent with signature requirement, which is highly important on high-value orders. Our selected carriers offer maximum delivery convenience. You may : Set a safe place, select a neighbour, book a specific delivery day, pick up, and more! Never miss a delivery again!
