Brendan O'Connor · Why Buying Refurbished Tech saves money and the planet · 11 Jul 2026 podcast

Well, look, as I say, I've been advocating for this for a long time.

And 20 years ago, it was really just secondhand machines, wiped and cleaned.

Now the factories are supporting this because of the Green Deal out of the EU and the general kind of public pressure to improve the way machines are made, how long they last.

I don't know if you noticed recently, Brendan, that Apple are starting to support updates for older phones, like even the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X.

So there's a lot of pressure on these companies to support that.

Lenovo in Ireland, through us, are doing a two-year warranty.

So you know that when you buy a new piece of equipment, it's typically one year.

So the refurbished stuff has a two-year.

The other thing about it is it's a local warranty.

So instead of that, if you have a fault with a machine, instead of it going back to Germany or England or wherever, as is often the case with the new stuff,

The refurbished stuff has a local warranty.

In our case, it's through us.

People like ourselves and Back From The Future are appointed to provide these warranties by the manufacturer because they don't want contact with the end user.

They prefer it through us and they prefer it handled locally so it doesn't have to be shipped halfway around the planet.

Thanks a million, Brandon.
