Product Grading

All grading structures are slightly different. At RPC, we grade items by physical information only. Operating defects and / or other anomalies are seperately noted under each device. This is why each item is listed seperately so that you have the detailed condition on every machine you want to purchase. Below are our core grading definitions for processed computer equipment.

Laptops

Grade "A" Grade 'A' laptop classification is reserved for units that show evidence of very light previous use. Any wear on a Grade A Laptop unit, including housing and external surfaces (i.e. cover / lid and keyboards) is associated with standard minimal use. Grade A units may have very minor scuffing and / or minor abrasions with light wear on keyboard from light standard previous use. Grade A Laptop screens will NOT feature scratches, cracks, chips, dead pixels, dark spots, discoloration or blemishes. Grade A Units will only feature the standard / minimal wear and tear that is associated with a used laptop.

Grade "B" Grade 'B' laptops are fully tested and fully functional but subject to have: scratches on laptop body and may feature more excessive unit housing and/or external surface wear than Grade A units, including scratches on cover / lid and heavier wear on keyboards. Grade B laptops may feature one or several small dings or dents on covers and / or small paint chips on the surface. Grade B Laptop screens may feature uneven light diffusion in screen and may feature subtle blemishes. Grade B Laptops will not feature cracks or dead pixels on screens, but may feature slight scratching on screen.
