Choose a computer system that fits your goals

The options below are for warrantied refurbished business class computers that will provide years of service when properly used and cared for. Participation includes free user support by phone or email, limited to the hardware provided by this program. We recommend desktops as they are easily upgraded, are less likely to be damaged and cost less over time to own - only choose a laptop if you must have portability.

Computer Hardware

Desktop PC hardware, includes limited 1 year warranty, wired and wireless networking, minimum 19” monitor, keyboard, mouse, power cables, communicator headset and a web camera.

Laptop hardware includes limited 90 day warranty, AC adapter, carry bag, wired and wireless networking, internal speakers, microphone and web camera. Battery capacity is not guaranteed.

Included Software (These systems are built with one of two operating systems:)

Linux Mint Operating System - free, easy to use, no maintenance and nearly virus proof. Comes with Google Chrome and Firefox Internet browsers, free word processor, spreadsheet and presentation programs and other useful tools.

Microsoft Windows 11 – the most commonly used operating system in the workplace. Includes free word processor, spreadsheet and presentation programs.

Some things to consider

Desktop Computers require a little more room than laptops, but come with much larger screens than laptops, they do not get damaged often like laptops do – and are far less expensive to repair. Desktops are also best for supervising use by children. Laptops are portable and convenient to use wherever you are, but are prone to mishandling, damage, overheating, and theft. ONLY CHOOSE A LAPTOP IF PORTABILITY IS A MUST.
