What is a Recycled PC?
A recycled PC is a used computer that has undergone cleaning, parts replacement, and other refurbishment processes to restore it to a usable condition. These PCs are typically more affordable than new ones, making them a popular choice for individuals and corporations who do not require the very latest models. They represent an environmentally and economically friendly option in today’s market.

Key Highlights of the Special Sales Event
High-Performance PCs with New SSDs
The event features business-grade, high-performance PCs that were previously used by large corporations. These machines undergo thorough cleaning, and their SSDs are replaced with new ones, ensuring both cost-effectiveness and excellent performance. Users can experience quick boot-up times and smooth processing speeds.
Ready-to-Use with Initial Setup Complete
All PCs come with initial settings configured, eliminating the need for complex setup procedures. Users can easily connect to the internet by following the included photo guide and start their computer life smoothly from day one.
Dedicated Staff Support
Knowledgeable staff will be on hand to provide personalized consultations regarding model selection and any questions about used computers. This ensures a reassuring experience for first-time buyers and those unfamiliar with recycled PCs.
Windows 11 Compatibility and Warranty
All products comply with official Windows 11 requirements and come with genuine OS licenses, ensuring security. An industry-leading warranty is also provided for added peace of mind.
Flexible Payment Options and Immediate Takeaway
Both cash and credit card payments are accepted. Customers can take their purchased PCs home immediately, allowing for a swift transition to their new computer.
Product Offerings
PC next exclusively handles products equipped with Windows 11, as Windows 10 support ended in October of the previous year. The lineup includes models from popular manufacturers such as NEC’s VersaPro series, Fujitsu’s Lifebook series, and HP’s Zbook series. (Please note that the lineup is based on past events and may vary depending on stock availability.)
