Why buy ‘new’ computer equipment when you can get the same refurbished computer at up to 80% savings and there is no difference in the quality or warranty? Statistics show that people who have already bought a factory refurbished computer will never buy ‘new’ computer again! Manufacturers are so sure about their refurbished computer equipment that they offer the original warranties.

Exactly what is considered factory refurbished computer equipment?

A lot of things can be labeled factory refurbished. So frivolous are some that it’s silly enough to make you laugh! Consumer laws prevent manufacturers from selling anything considered factory refurbished as new, so the second consumer gets the best deal and it’s just like a new computer!

For example, most major retail stores offer a 30 day money back guarantee on their computer equipment and some consumers take advantage of this. So when the new computer is returned, the manufacturer inspects the product and repackages it like new. But it can’t be sold as new now so you get a great price with the original warranty, now it’s considered a refurbished computer. Other reasons may be the box was damaged in shipment and so it was returned, a slight defect, the defective part is replaced by the manufacturer, tested and then repackaged just like new. Maybe a minor cosmetic blemish on the casing that was corrected. Demonstration units are also considered factory refurbished computers. They are also inspected, tested and repackaged. The box was simply opened or brand new items that have been overstocked are also labeled factory refurbished.

It’s hard to tell the history of each and every refurbished computer item but whatever the reason for the refurbished label you can be sure that the computer equipment has been inspected and serviced by the manufacturer then tested and repackaged to meet original product specifications, just like a new computer. And like I said before, all computer equipment merchandise is warranted by the original manufacturer unless otherwise specified.

Why buy a refurbished computer?

Well, to save MONEY! Why not get the best value while getting the exact same computer equipment? Also, you get the original manufacturer’s warranty and get a much, much lower price on your new computer.

Now with refurbished computer equipment you can afford that item which has been just out of your reach because it cost too much. And you will get the same performance! Actually refurbished items have a much lower defect rate than new ones. Only one in ten units that come back for repair is usually a factory refurb! That is because they are closely tested before they are sold. The only difference you may notice is a little label on the outside of the box or simply a brown box. So think hard before your purchase, are you shopping smart?

A strong password really helps in securing your computing environment. In modern computerized working environment, you need to choose different passwords at different places or devices to implement system and network security. The password restricts unauthorized access to the system, network and specific devices secured with a password.

However, it will be a surprising fact for people with less IT knowledge (or just working knowledge of computing) that common passwords are only for novice people. Hackers and IT experts with sound knowledge of network security can break normal passwords within minutes. Even best firewalls and security hardware cannot protect you from brilliant and destructive mind of sophisticated cybercriminals.

Well the question arises, do we have any solution to keep our home of office systems, networks and devices secure from any such intrusion? The answer is YES. But, that is not possible through any software or hardware, because any security software or hardware is secure only for some time. Hackers and sniffers find out the way to break this security implementation very soon. The only solution is choosing a strong password for you. Well, choosing a strong password that is tough to guess, break or crack is not too tough, but tricky.

You need to follow some very old rules and guidelines for selection of a perfect password. Normally, people choose a convenient password for them that is easy to remember for them but tough to guess to others. A common password selected by a normal people can be the name of his/her spouse, kids or the place where they live; sometime people choose their date of birth or anniversary as password; some smart people make a combination of both. However, all these strategies are unsecure for you.

Always remember, that hackers don’t only rely on guessing a password. They believe in using several strong password-cracking programs to crack your password. These smart and destructive programs can try to match all words of a dictionary as your password within minutes. So you will end up losing your password if it’s a word found in dictionary. So it’s better to keep your smartness aside and follow these simple guidelines:

1. Never use a word from dictionary as your password,

2. Don’t think that a word or phrase with multiple characters is an ideal password,

3. Use a strong combination of alphabets, numbers and special characters as your password,

4. Keep your password secret, never share password with anyone,

5. It’s better to choose a passphrase as your password, and at last

6. Keep changing your password periodically.

Following the above guidelines can save you from password theft and provide you a secure working environment.
