As the 2025 school year approaches, it's time to prepare for academic success. At Recompute, we're dedicated to providing top-quality refurbished technology to support your educational journey. Here's how you can gear up effectively:

1. Choose the Right Laptop

A dependable laptop is essential for modern education. Consider these factors when selecting one:

• Performance: Opt for at least an 8th Generation Intel i5 processor with 8GB RAM  (prefer 16GB if possible) to handle multitasking efficiently. We recommend a 8th gen processor a a minimum as most earlier processors can't run Windows 11. This is especially important with support for Windows 10 ending later this year. If choosing an Apple MacBook we recommend a M1 processor. 
• Storage: A minimum of 256GB SSD ensures quick access to your files and applications and enough storage.
• Portability: Select a lightweight model for easy transport between classes.

Recompute offers a variety of refurbished laptops that meet these criteria, providing high performance at a fraction of the cost of new devices. Click on the links below for some recommended models:
