Refurbished business hardware, tested and warranted in Zürich

Why Refurbished Corporate Hardware

Corporations replace entire laptop fleets on a fixed schedule, not because the hardware wears out, but because IT support contracts and warranties expire. That mismatch between contractual lifespan and actual usable life is where the value is.

01

Built for the Enterprise

Corporate laptops are specified for years of daily use across a fleet: durable chassis, user-replaceable batteries and storage, and business-grade components that outlast hardware built to hit a consumer shelf price.

02

Retired Too Soon

Most fleets are refreshed on 3-5 year cycles for support and compliance reasons, not because the machines are failing. The hardware we sell typically has years of useful life left in it.

03

Value, Kept Local

We refurbish every device here in Switzerland. Buying refurbished means no new import, so the value stays in the Swiss economy instead of going to a factory overseas.

Refurbishing and Testing

Every device is tested and refurbished in Zürich and covered by a 2-year warranty (details on the warranty page). Our goals in this process:

01

Sanitization

To sanitize both digitally and physically. No data from previous use remains, and all surfaces are cleaned and sanitized.

02

Transparency

To gather every little detail from inside to outside so that you know exactly what you are getting.

03

Reliability

Make sure everything is working and catch possible problems early.

House of Circularity and Durability

Durubitu is derived from ancient Akkadian. It comes from two words:

Duru / du-ru /

Meaning a fortress wall, or an unbroken cycle of time.

Bītu / bi-tu /

The historical term for an institutional estate or storehouse of craftsmen.

Our Backstory

Durubitu is a new venture founded in Zürich, Switzerland, but built on a pedigree that goes back 25 years. The founder has been refurbishing computers since the early 2000's, building a company in Australia that still serves its customers today.
