Outlet Store FAQ
Our most frequently asked questions in regards to the Outlet Store
What kind of systems are available in the Outlet Store?
You'll come across recertified PCs in the outlet store as well as open box and as-is components. Recertified systems may have been lightly used for purposes such as display, photoshoots, or press reviews. They may also include canceled orders or customer returns. Regardless of their origin, each system undergoes a thorough inspection and rigorous testing process. We restore every unit to full working condition, update it with the latest drivers and BIOS, and ensure it meets the same performance and reliability standards as our brand-new PCs.
Do Outlet Store products come with a warranty?
Yes, Outlet Store systems come with a 90-day warranty and original manufacturer warranties for original components.

What happens if something goes wrong with my Outlet PC?
