Choosing the right amount of storage depends on how you use your device. Here's a breakdown to help you make the right choice:
You want to know what you are buying, especially if you want to order online. According to our quality guarantee there is only one choice in technical terms: Premium Refurbished. How your device looks , you can still choose yourself. That is why we give on this page a description as clear as possible about what you can expect from the appearance of a refurbished device.
We use star ratings for this. This way you can perfectly determine your choice. We therefore find clear and honest communication to our customers very important.
We apply the strictest standards in the field of evaluation of the appearance of refurbished devices. This applies to iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, iMacs, laptops and other models.
As New A refurbished product with a 5-star rating looks almost as new. You can expect that you will see almost no traces of use on a refurbished iPhone, for example. The screen has no visible scratches, the casing looks excellent and has no dents or scratches. Very exceptionally, you may see a very light trace of use if you hold an iPhone up to the light, for example. You choose a 5-star refurbished device if you want your new device to look excellent. There may be light traces of use on the bottom of a MacBook, laptop or iMac, but not on the "visible" parts.
Very good. A refurbished product with a 4-star rating still looks great. The difference with a 5-star rating is that there may be one or more small inconspicuous scratches visible on, for example, the screen or the casing. Sometimes one small mini dent can give an otherwise perfect device a 4-star rating instead of a 5-star rating. Choosing a 4-star rating means that you are choosing a refurbished smartphone, tablet or laptop that simply looks very good. Moreover, you benefit from it, as they are priced even cheaper.
Good. A refurbished product with a 3-star rating has more obvious signs of use. Scratches on the screen and/or on the casing. Small dents or dents can also occur. Of course, the device is 100% technically in order. Here you know that you are getting extra benefit because the device already shows more signs of use.
The CPU largely determines the computing power of your device. Laptops are mainly equipped with Intel processors. Macbooks come with both Intel and Apple M CPUs. We hereby provide brief advice on which processor might be suitable for you.
Apple has introduced its own line of ARM-based processors for MacBooks in recent years, known as the Apple Silicon chips. Here is an overview of the main Apple Silicon chips and their differences:

Items may be subject to the Normal VAT scheme or to the VAT on the Margin scheme.
Standard VAT Scheme
There is a 21% (depending on country) VAT levied on an article. This is included in the price. For VAT-liable customers, this VAT is deductible from their VAT return.
What is VAT on the Margin?
There is no deductible VAT on products that are sold under VAT over the Margin. For consumers and non-VAT payers this does not matter that much. As a VAT payer it is usually more interesting to purchase a product according to the normal VAT scheme. However, the amount is 100% deductible as a cost.
For products with VAT on the Margin, an "M" is mentioned at the end of the description. The correct legal text is mentioned on the invoice.
All smartphones are equipped with an eSIM (a digital SIM card). Recent models are sometimes only equipped with an eSIM (eSIM only) and therefore do not have a physical Nano SIM. Depending on your operator, it is important to make the right choice. Depending on your smartphone, 4G or 5G is supported.
SIM/eSIM
These smartphones are equipped with both a physical Nano SIM card and an eSIM and are therefore suitable for all operators.
eSim Only
Smartphones equipped with only an eSIM are not suitable for all operators. Here is an overview per country.
