Refurbished computer are used computers that have been inspected, tested, cleaned, and loaded with a fresh installation of Windows, often on a new SSD (Solid State Drive). They are much better than used because you are getting only the best machines in terms of condition, specifications, and warranty.

Yes! Refurbished computers are usually commercial-grade machines only a few years old. Commercial machines are built to a higher standard of quality and durability than most computers that you can buy at your local big-box store. At Little Dog Tech we fix A LOT of computers. Over 90% of them are consumer-grade machines that just don't last.

We are confident in the quality of our machines. We offer a full 1-year hardware warranty on all refurbished machines. That's longer than some new computers!

Better yet, the warranty is handled right in our store in West Des Moines. No more sitting on hold for hours just to ship your computer into a service center for weeks. If you have an issue, you give us a call, talk to a local technician, and we will take care of it!

Our machines are categorized by type, generation, and specifications. Anything older than an 8th generation processor is going to have Windows 10. Anything newer will have Windows 11. An average user will want at least an Intel i5 CPU with 8Gb of RAM. If you are a power user, look for something that is at least 10th generation with an i7 CPU and 16Gb of RAM.

When placing an order, you may choose to have the computer shipped directly to you, pick it up at our sister company, Electronic Asset Security in Urbandale, or have it sent to our office in West Des Moines. Many customers choose to have us do additional work on the machine, such as data migration, in which case pickup at Little Dog Tech is the most convenient for you!

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our technicians at 515-422-1995. We'll be happy to help you choose a computer, or answer any questions you may have.
