What you're buying

What is an ex-asset machine?

An ex-Apple Asset is simply a device that has previously been owned by a business or institution. In 99% of instances, these have either been owned by Apple or one of our educational institutions and used for internal use or training. These units are not refurbished. They have been certified "fit for sale" by Apple directly or via our service departments (in the instances of institutions).

The only exception to the above is in instances where a product has failed and been replaced. The failed unit is returned to our service departments and the failed part swapped out, after which the device becomes available through the program.
