Transparency, grade by grade
Buying refurbished means knowing exactly what you will receive. At AB1 PLUS, every device is graded on its cosmetic condition — and certified on its full functionality, no matter what.
Grade A — Excellent condition
No visible defect to the naked eye. Near-new shell and keyboard, scratch-free screen. The device looks fresh out of the box — at a refurbished price.
Grade B — Good condition
A few micro-scratches or light signs of use on the shell or keyboard. The screen is free of visible scratches. Ideal for daily use without functional compromise.
Grade C — Visible signs of use
Scratches, marks or marked cosmetic impacts on the shell. The screen shows at most light micro-scratches. The best value for money — always 100 % functional.
