    A refurbished iPhone or Macbook could save you a lot of money — but there are some things you should consider.

    If you’re in the market for a new tablet or laptop, grabbing a refurbished device saves you money and can reduce electronic waste. Yet, when buying second-hand, there are some extra things you want to consider. To help you on your tech journey, we spoke to tech repair experts about how to shop for new-to-you gear.

    Sam Schiff, a tech repair expert based in New York City said, “If you’re on the fence, try to consider what you’ll use the device for. Most users don’t need the latest and greatest machine for basic tasks. As long as the device is coming from a reputable supplier with a good return policy, buying refurbished is pretty low risk and can help save the planet and a bunch of money!”
