To help their staff have the best chance of being competitive in their chosen business it has been for many years the task of the I.T Department to provide them with the fastest and most capable technology available in the market. I.T Directors have had to constantly keep ahead of what the market can offer and make sure that their staff had this available to them.

  But how fast does fastest need to be ?
........And at what cost ?

There is no denying that some workers who are doing resource hungry work do need the latest speed and capacity available to them and for them only the most up to date computer equipment will satisfy their demand for technology advance. But for an ever increasing majority of work which is taking place in the office today, computers which are 6 months, 1 year or even 2 or 3 years old are more than capable of performing the tasks needed from them as quickly and as efficiently as a new PC sold today, an at a fraction of the cost.

Whether you need fully factory refurbished systems or just good condition used systems, text Services has been involved in this market for many years and can easily and efficiently provide you with high quality pre-used computer stock to satisfy your requirements. We have strong relationships with all of the major computer leasing companies and computer manufacturers. Our normal business practice is to trade in vast volumes of used PC products and the majority of our stocks are exported all over the world to ongoing customers.

Whatever is your companies particular need then you can be certain that somewhere in the world there is a company that is either in the process or has already deinstalled that exact same equipment from there own sites. Why should you not take advantage of this at only a small percentage of what similar new stocks would cost you ? We are perfectly able to supply that stock to you fully refurbished to an as new condition and cover it with a good warranty for your peace of mind.

When the computer was first integrated into our office world the need for faster and more powerful machines was ever present. Software designers where always pushing forward what memory was needed and what size hard drive was taken up. In those times it was very important to keep pace with developments in I.T as they could be the key to improving your companies profits. How relevant is that position today ?

  How fast does MS Excel need to do a calculation ?
  How quick does MS Word need to display the typed text ?
  How fast does a picture need to be attached to an e-mail ?
  How much is the download speed of an e-mail due the lack of that extra 256Mb of Ram ?
  Does a program taking 1.5 Seconds longer to load really kill the days productivity ?

There are fundamental changes in the computer which are relevant:

  The change from CRT Tubes to Flat Panel Screens is valid. They relieve space on the desk and are far more higher performance.
  The change from Pentium 1 up to Pentium 4 brings obvious benefits.
  The change from using 16Mb Ram to using 1Gb of Ram would also be unquestionably faster.
  The change from using a 14" SVGA Screen to a 19" SVGA Screen would be fundamental in improving the users working day.

However, Unless you play games in your office all day I would doubt that any of the advances made in the last 6 months would even be noticed by your users. Computer manufacturers are finding it increasingly tough to sell the changes in technology pace today:

Is it really going to have any impact at all for office work if:

  A computer was 1.7Ghz as opposed to 1.4Ghz ?
  Memory was SDRAM instead of DRAM ?
  A CDROM is 56X instead of 48X ?
  The video card is 128Mb instead of 192Mb ?

Why pay for what the manufacture wants to sell you when what he was building for you 6 months or a year ago was good enough for you then ?

Has your accounts department really sped up that much in a year ?

The end result is why pay £800 for something when a fully refurbished unit which is 1 or 2 years old will do the task it was bought for well enough for the coming years and cost you a fraction of the price ?
