Here is our first article written at the birth of MediaMonster in 2014:

A Pro laptop VS a consumer laptop

What do we mean by a professional laptop?

A professional laptop is designed to last much longer than a consumer laptop. These pro machines are built, for example, to run all day in offices where they often remain switched on for an entire day.

This is why professionals use these types of machines. Organizations like Médecins Sans Frontières or field workers also rely on them when operating in challenging environments where protection against humidity, water, and shocks is required.

They are generally equipped with more durable cases resistant to impacts, shockproof keyboards, and high-quality internal components.

Disadvantages:

• Higher price for a new pro laptop
  

• Industrial design
  

Advantages:

• Reinforced case and hinges
  

• Matte screen
  

• Reliability and longevity
  

• Better cooling and heat dissipation
  

Why aren’t these laptops commonly found in regular electronics stores?

The answer is simple: the high price of new pro laptops makes them inaccessible for most consumers. This is where MediaMonster comes in.

We refurbish these professional machines from corporate fleets and offer them to the general public at highly competitive prices.

Refurbished pro Laptop VS new consumer laptop

To explain this simply, let’s use an analogy with cars:

Which would you choose between a brand-new Renault and a 3-year-old Mercedes?

Objectively, based on quality and reliability, most people would choose the Mercedes. The same applies when comparing new consumer laptops to refurbished pro laptops.

As mentioned earlier, professional laptops are built to run for entire workdays, which explains their more robust design. In contrast, consumer laptops are designed for only a few hours of daily use, with planned obsolescence in mind.

Buying refurbished professional equipment also contributes to environmental sustainability. Furthermore, thanks to our in-house workshop and spare parts stock, we are the only company in Europe offering a standard 3-year warranty on our desktops and laptops. We can provide this service thanks to our extensive inventory and deep knowledge of our machines.

We offer maximum flexibility in configuring our machines to meet your actual needs: adding RAM, larger hard drives, SSDs, keyboard replacements, operating system in any language, creation of recovery disks and/or drivers, etc.

If you are unsure which machine to choose, contact us with your needs and intended usage, and we will recommend the best options tailored to you.

We are also happy to answer all your questions because we are passionate about our work and strive to maximize customer satisfaction by providing quality hardware and after-sales service.
