My PC is getting slower and slower – what can I do?
We hear these questions often, and it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with whether you're using used or new computer hardware. Here are four simple factors that can slow down your PC:
If these measures no longer help, your PC is probably just really old. In that case, we recommend an affordable, professionally refurbished PC – almost like new, but significantly cheaper.
Green IT saves electricity and conserves resources. Leading manufacturers are now focusing on energy-efficient hardware – ideal for sustainable working. Tip: Use standby mode instead of switching off – often with 0-watt consumption, lightning-fast startup, and programs already open.

In the age of digitalization, companies face a central question: How can IT infrastructure be designed economically, reliably and responsibly?
Cost pressures in IT procurement are real. While new devices often tie up budgets, refurbished hardware offers savings of 60-70%. Business devices from Dell, HP, or Lenovo are designed for continuous operation and, thanks to our refurbishment process, achieve a near-new technical and visual condition.
Are you looking for reliable business hardware from well-known manufacturers – at fair prices and with a warranty? In our range you will find exclusively professionally refurbished devices from leading brands:
Each model includes:
Producing a single laptop generates 300 kg of CO₂ and consumes 8,000 liters of water. By reusing high-quality hardware, you significantly reduce this impact and demonstrate your commitment to responsible business practices.
When you buy a computer – whether new or used – it's worth understanding the components it contains. The heart of your system is the processor, nowadays usually from Intel or AMD. Here, it's not just about pure speed, but especially about the number of cores: While a dual-core processor is perfectly adequate for standard tasks like office applications, you should opt for a multi-core processor for more demanding tasks such as graphics editing.
Equally important is the RAM: For modern operating systems like Windows 10 or 11, we recommend at least 8 GB of DDR4 RAM – less can quickly lead to noticeable performance losses. If you work with large files or use multiple applications simultaneously, 16 GB or more is advisable. Make sure you have the option to upgrade later, especially if you're taking advantage of a particularly good deal.
The motherboard forms the foundation of your system. Here you should pay particular attention to compatibility: Does the processor socket fit your CPU? Are there free slots for future upgrades? While a motherboard with an excessively high clock speed can deliver more performance, it also leads to increased heat generation – caution is advised here if you are not very familiar with hardware.
SSDs have become the dominant storage medium over traditional hard drives. They are not only significantly faster, but also more shock-resistant and quieter. You should plan for at least 256 GB for your operating system and essential programs, and 512 GB or more for larger media libraries.
For multimedia applications, it's worth taking a look at graphics and sound: While integrated graphics solutions are sufficient for most office applications, you need a dedicated graphics card for demanding tasks such as image editing or gaming. The same applies to sound output – the onboard sound solution is sufficient for normal applications, while audio enthusiasts benefit from a separate sound card.
Don't forget the connection options:
Sufficient USB ports (at least four, preferably USB 3.0 or higher), HDMI or DisplayPort for monitors and a LAN connection for stable internet are standard today.
Our tip for you: "Used business computers from brands like Lenovo, Dell, or HP not only score points with their robust construction, but often offer particularly good upgrade options. This allows you to adapt your system to growing requirements over the years."
Whether you're looking for a high-performance workstation or a simple office system – with us you'll find carefully tested devices that perfectly match your needs.
