When buying a laptop in Pakistan, one of the most common questions is: Should I go for a brand-new laptop or a refurbished one?
With rising USD rates, PTA taxes, and higher import costs, refurbished laptops often look attractive because of their lower prices. But brand-new laptops come with peace of mind and warranty. So, which option is best for you? Let’s compare ????
✅ Refurbished vs Brand New – Key Differences
| Feature | Brand New Laptop | Refurbished Laptop |
|---|---|---|
| ???? Condition | Sealed, unused, direct from manufacturer | Pre-owned, repaired, or restored to working condition |
| ????️ Warranty | Full manufacturer warranty (1 year or more) | Limited warranty (3–12 months, often dealer-backed) |
| ???? Price | Higher – includes PTA tax & full import duties | Lower – 20% to 40% cheaper |
| ???? Battery Life | Brand new battery | May have reduced battery life depending on usage |
| ⚡ Performance | 100% original components | Sometimes upgraded, but not always original parts |
| ???? Resale Value | Higher resale value | Lower resale value compared to new |
???? Rule of Thumb: New = Peace of Mind. Refurbished = Budget-Friendly.
