Why Buying a Used Laptop Is Smarter Than You Think - For Your Wallet and the Planet

In today’s fast-paced tech world and slow economy, it’s difficult keeping up with the latest and greatest laptops boasting faster processors, sleeker designs, and AI-powered features.

So, before you hit “add to cart” on that brand-new laptop, it’s worth considering an alternative that’s kinder to your wallet, the planet and creates IT testing and repair jobs for local disadvantaged in Broadmeadows.

 


1. Substantial Cost Savings

The obvious benefit is price. In the Click used laptops can be 30–70% cheaper than their brand-new counterparts. Whether you're a student on a tight budget, a startup founder watching expenses, or a casual user who doesn’t need the latest perks, a used laptop can deliver all the functionality you need at a fraction of the cost.

In the Click laptops are upgraded by our suitably skilled Tech team and ready to use!

 


2. CO₂ Savings and slowing the Environmental Impact

Here’s where buying used really shines: the environmental benefit. Producing a new laptop has a significant carbon footprint. According to a 2020 study by the European Environmental Bureau, the average laptop generates about 300 kg of CO₂ during production.

Also, by choosing a used laptop, you’re joining us with our Circular Tech movement, extending the life of the tech, directly slowing and reducing e-waste and conserving the raw materials — like rare earth metals — required to make new electronics.

 


3. “Circular Tech” - A Smart Ethical Choice, creates jobs for disadvantaged.

Choosing a great quality, upgraded laptop is a vote against planned obsolescence. It’s a conscious decision to value sustainability over constant consumption whilst creating IT technician jobs for young people with disability and local migrant community in Melbourne’s north.
