KARACHI: Microsoft has initiated the country’s first Registered Refurbishing programme with the support of 20 partner computer refurbishers to expand the affordable and safe channels through which local businesses, households and schools can obtain high-quality used PCs in Pakistan.

Under this initiative, Microsoft’s registered partners will be able to sell refurbished PCs with genuine Microsoft software pre-installed at a price starting from Rs8900.

“Microsoft Registered Refurbisher programme creates economic opportunities for both our partners and our customers,” said Ali Hoballah, Middle East and Africa regional general manager of the Microsoft Unlimited Potential Group.

Microsoft Registered Refurbishers provide refurbished PCs starting from Rs9000 with genuine Microsoft software, access to future Microsoft software updates and downloads and the peace of mind that comes with after-sales support from authorised partners and a six-month warranty.

In addition, the program will aim to cut down on environmental impact of e-waste by providing customers with the option to recycle the PCs when they reach the end of their useful life.
