If you are shopping for a cell phone, tablet, or computer, you might wonder if buying a used Apple® product makes more sense than picking up a new one. Purchasing a used device allows you to save money on a product that fulfills your tech needs. Experimac™ North Tampa offers high-quality preowned Apple products that have been fully refurbished. These Tampa, FL, experts test each item to make sure it performs properly and will support updates.

Here, the team explains when purchasing a used device might be the best option:

• Buying a Device for a Child: Kids and teens lead busy lives and often need digital devices for school and to stay in touch with family and friends. At this age, they are learning to take responsibility for their belongings but still might drop or lose items. If your refurbished device is lost, stolen or damaged, it presents less of a financial setback than replacing a new one.
• Assisting a Senior: Many times, older parents and grandparents want to communicate with their loved ones, but don’t need a machine designed for business purposes. A refurbished computer or phone is ideal for this type of user, as they can take advantage of services like video chat and internet access without paying for features they don’t need.
• Buying a Secondary Device: If you already have a primary computer, purchasing a used Apple product as a backup can help you protect your data and stay productive. If your primary device is damaged or compromised, you can use the spare to keep up with work or school.
• Shopping for the Best Deals: Many people buy computers or tablets as gifts or even for themselves during holiday sales. Shopping for preowned items helps you get an even better deal. During July, August, and even early September, you can enjoy back-to-school savings. Sales are also common during the holidays and graduation season in May and June. You can also find competitive prices on used devices when Apple releases new products.

If you are in the market for a used computer, phone or tablet, you can count on Experimac North Tampa to have a wide selection of high-quality used Apple products. They also provide computer and cell phone repairs and Apple upgrade services to keep your favorite devices running. Call (813) 280-2620 or visit their website to learn more about their selection.
