Selecting your new computer or computer upgrades for college is almost as important as deciding on your university; it sets the tone for the next four years of your life. All electronics are an investment, and it is important to consider the best options for you to get the most out of your devices.

A Quick Guide for Your Back-to-School Computer

Get a Computer Upgrade

If you own an Apple® computer, then you are already aware of their many benefits: a comprehensive user interface, virtually no viruses, and a quality design. Your investment in a Mac® will likely last you until graduation day and beyond. However, if your parents already purchased one for you a couple of years ago, it probably makes more sense to have a computer upgrade. Increasing the RAM will help it run faster and installing a larger hard drive is a great way to boost its storage capacity.

Buy a Used Machine

Some machines are too old for a computer upgrade, or they’re already maxed out. The great thing about Apple is because of their products’ quality and durability there is not much of a difference when you buy used devices versus new. The main point of differentiation is that when you buy a used Mac, discounts are typically up to 25% off the purchase price.

Unlike many other electronics, refurbished Apple products go through a rigorous quality control program that ensures they are fully functioning and also come with a one-year warranty. Most are marked “like new,” and you will be hard-pressed to find any differences.

Get a Trademark Certified Machine

When looking for used Apple devices, check that they’re trademark certified, so you know you aren’t getting a knockoff brand. You should also try to find a model that is 2009 or newer because those products will be able to run Apple’s latest iOS. This will be important when you have to download large files for class or give a presentation with the newest software.
