Why our QC matters

Roughly 8 in 10 laptops we inspect never reach the store — they fail on battery, hinges, keyboards or hidden board faults. That is why every unit we do list carries a 12-month warranty with confidence.

Our promise

The hard part isn't selling. It's saying no.

Of every 10 gadgets that reach our QC bench, 8 get returned to the supplier. The 2 that pass our 50-point check are the ones you see on this site. Stock runs out fast — that's a feature, not a flaw.
