Pre-installed Software
- Facebook, Instagram and other social media work straight away through Firefox or Chrome, with no extra software needed.
- You can store your files on a cloud drive like Google Drive if you'd like, but you don't have to; everything also saves locally on the computer.
Try them yourself on the demo machines in our showroom.
Our eBay Store
Open to everyone, no concession card required. We sell equipment on eBay that isn't suitable for our concession program, including enterprise-grade gear, vintage items, surplus hard drives and bulky equipment.
Revenue from our eBay store goes back into Computerbank's operating costs. Along with equipment donations, financial donations and occasional grants, these sales help us keep the workshop running and usable equipment in circulation.
What you'll find
- Enterprise and business-grade laptops and desktops
- One-of-a-kind and end-of-life equipment
- Surplus hard drives and components
- Vintage and specialty gear
Recycled Parts & Accessories
Our stock of individual parts (screens, RAM, wireless cards and similar) is currently very limited. For a wider range of refurbished parts and accessories, we recommend getting in touch with our friends at Enable.
