Why Buy a Refurbished Desktop Computer?
A refurbished desktop can offer considerably more computer for your budget than buying the least expensive new PC you can find.
Instead of paying primarily for the fact that a computer is new, you may be able to purchase a higher-quality business-class or professional desktop that has been inspected, cleaned, tested and prepared for another owner.
Refurbished desktop computers can be an excellent choice for:
- Home computers
- Office and business computers
- Internet and email
- Microsoft Office
- Schoolwork
- QuickBooks and business applications
- Streaming and everyday entertainment
- Secondary computers
- Multi-monitor workstations
- Budget-conscious computer buyers
Professionally Refurbished Computers in Peoria
There is an important difference between simply buying a used computer from an individual and purchasing a computer that has gone through a refurbishment process.
Emerald Computers operates a computer refurbishment facility at our Peoria location. Refurbished systems are inspected, cleaned and tested before being offered for sale.
Depending on the computer and configuration, systems may also receive hardware upgrades to improve their performance and usefulness.
SSD Upgrades Can Make a Big Difference
Storage is one of the first things we look at when preparing a desktop computer.
Older mechanical hard drives can make an otherwise capable computer feel extremely slow. Replacing an older hard drive with a solid-state drive (SSD) can dramatically improve startup times, application loading and everyday responsiveness.
That’s why an older but well-configured computer with an SSD can sometimes feel significantly faster during normal use than someone might expect based simply on its age.
RAM and Other Desktop Upgrades
One advantage of desktop computers is that many systems can be upgraded.
Depending on the particular desktop, possible upgrades may include:
- Additional RAM
- Larger SSD storage
- Additional storage drives
- Wi-Fi capability
- Graphics cards
- Power supplies
- Other compatible hardware
If a refurbished desktop is close to what you need but requires more memory or storage, ask us whether the system can be upgraded.
Refurbished Business Desktop Computers
Business-class desktop computers can be particularly attractive refurbished systems.
Many were originally designed for offices and professional environments where reliability, serviceability and long operating life were important.
A properly configured refurbished business desktop may be a good fit for Microsoft Office, accounting applications, web-based business software, point-of-sale applications, remote work and other everyday business tasks.
Businesses that need several computers should also ask about the availability of matching or similarly configured systems.
Refurbished Desktop vs. Cheap New Computer
The cheapest new computer isn’t automatically the best value.
When comparing computers, look beyond whether the machine is new or refurbished. Compare the actual hardware and how well it fits what you intend to do.
Important specifications include:
- Processor
- Amount of RAM
- SSD capacity
- Graphics capabilities
- Available expansion
- Video outputs
- USB connectivity
- Upgradeability
A better-equipped refurbished desktop may sometimes be more useful than an entry-level new computer with limited memory, storage or upgrade options.
Used vs. Refurbished Computers: What’s the Difference?
The terms used and refurbished are sometimes treated as though they mean the same thing, but they shouldn’t automatically be considered identical.
A used computer may simply be sold in its existing condition. A professionally refurbished computer should go through an inspection and testing process before being resold.
That distinction is one reason we recommend asking what was actually done to a computer rather than relying only on the word “refurbished.”
Can You Upgrade a Refurbished Desktop Later?
Often, yes.
Upgradeability is one of the biggest advantages of traditional desktop computers. Depending on the model, you may be able to increase RAM, install additional storage or make other hardware changes later.
If future upgrades are important to you, tell us before purchasing the computer. We can help you look for a system that provides the expansion options you need.
What Refurbished Desktop Should You Buy?
The right computer depends on what you actually plan to do with it.
If you mainly browse the internet, use email and work with documents, your requirements will be much different from someone editing video, running specialized business software or gaming.
When you visit Emerald Computers, tell us what programs you use and what you want the computer to accomplish. We can help you compare the systems currently available.
Need More Performance?
If a refurbished desktop isn’t powerful enough for your workload, Emerald Computers also sells other desktop computers and builds custom PCs.

What If Your Current Computer Just Needs an Upgrade?
Before replacing a computer, it may be worth determining whether your existing PC can be repaired or upgraded.
An SSD, additional RAM or another targeted upgrade may extend the useful life of your current system.
