Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between the 128GB, 256GB and 500GB versions?

Storage capacity only — choose the larger option if you need more local space for files, projects or media.

Is the display a touchscreen?

No. This listing is the standard 15.6″ HD (1366×768) non-touch display.

Does it support Contactless Smart Card authentication?

Some configurations support Contactless Smart Cards for organisations that use card-based building or system authentication. This is configuration-dependent and not guaranteed on every unit.

Does it charge via USB-C?

No. This model charges via a standard barrel-style power adapter, not USB-C.

What’s the difference between Good and Excellent grade?

Both grades are fully tested and fault-free — the difference is purely cosmetic. Excellent grade shows minimal signs of previous use, while Good grade may have light visible wear such as small scuffs. See our grading guide for full details.

Is the battery tested?

Yes. Battery operation is checked during refurbishment as part of our 30-point inspection. Runtime varies with battery condition, screen brightness, settings and the applications in use.

Does it support TPM security?

TPM is available and can be enabled via BIOS setup, supporting features such as BitLocker drive encryption.

How quickly will it be delivered?

See our shipping and delivery policy for the latest dispatch cut-off and UK delivery times.
