The store’s recent announcement details some of the latest additions to its extensive inventory of refurbished laptops, desktops, gaming rigs, monitors, and graphics cards. Discount Electronics stocks machines from leading brands such as Dell, Lenovo, Apple, HP, and ASUS. All products are sold with a store-issued warranty for customer peace of mind.
For students in the market for a portable device, the store offers an Apple MacBook Pro 15” from 2016 available for $475. Featuring an Intel Quad Core i7 2.7GHz Processor with a 15.4-inch Retina LED IPS Display, this laptop delivers crystal-clear visuals with effortless multi-tasking capabilities. The machine comes fitted with a 256GB solid-state drive, 16GB of RAM, and features WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2.
The laptop is equipped with a high-definition webcam that makes it easy to join online classes or keep in touch with friends and family back home, while the four USB-C sockets allow users to connect multiple external devices. As a pre-owned computer, this MacBook Pro does have some minor cosmetic imperfections but nothing that affects its signature sleek Apple profile or performance to any noticeable degree.
For students looking for a desktop alternative but are short on space in their residence halls or shared apartments, the Dell OptiPlex 3060 Micro i3 Desktop is available at just $160. This tiny PC features a powerful 4-core Intel i3 CPU, a solid-state drive, and DDR4 memory, delivering fast computing with a small footprint.
Discount Electronics can also help customers put together a completely customized machine as well as source and secure replacement parts for older, faulty devices.
A spokesperson says, “We opened in 1997 and now have three Austin area retail stores and a web fulfillment facility. We were voted ‘Best Computer Store’ in Austin by the Austin Chronicle Readers Poll.”
