What is the HP Renew Program?The HP Renew Program offers an extensive portfolio of quality remanufactured products as a complement to new HP products. Through an extensive process of remanufacturing and recertification, HP Renew offers current, state of the art technology that is guaranteed to be the same quality and performance you would expect from new, and comes with the same original warranty as equivalent new product.
What products are included in the HP Renew Program portfolio?
What is “remanufactured”?Remanufactured products are units that have been returned to HP for a variety of reasons and then put through a rigorous refurbishment and testing process to bring them back to "same as new" in terms of condition and performance.HP Renew products are not to be confused with "used" or "second-hand" products. Instead, HP Renew offers high quality products that are completely remanufactured and refurbished by HP. All HP Renew products are Factory-Certified to be as good as new with performance equal to new. We even return it to its same-as-new warranty status. The benefit: Factory-Certified HP technology at a lower cost and performance equal to new products, backed by the original HP warranty.
Where do HP Renew remanufactured products come from?HP Renew remanufactured products can originate from a variety of sources, including:
More than 80 percent of HP Renew Program offerings are less than 12 months old, and often the latest technology becomes available through HP Renew shortly after its introduction. Aside from the lower cost, the only difference is that these products have, for one reason or another, left HP warehouses and can no longer be sold as new.
How is a product remanufactured?Remanufactured HP products undergo a rigorous process in factories owned and managed by HP to completely restore them to their original factory condition and performance. Every product in the HP Renew portfolio is thoroughly tested to ensure that they meet the same stringent standards as new products and, once verified, they are backed by a same-as-new HP warranty. In addition, service and support options are equivalent to that offered with new HP products and the most current software revisions are installed.
What is the difference between HP Renew products and other remanufactured or refurbished products?The distinction is not always obvious. HP Renew products are fully backed by HP warranty, and have been remanufactured to be equivalent to new product standards. They carry the same warranty and service options as new HP products.On the other hand, refurbished or used equipment not purchased from HP or HP resellers may not be fully tested or certified to meet like-new standards. These products may not be backed by the full manufacturer's warranty.
What type of warranty comes with HP Renew products?HP Renew products are backed by the original HP warranty. In other words, there is no difference between the warranty offered for a new HP product and the equivalent HP Renew product. The warranty of the HP Renew product starts with the date of purchase and refreshes the original warranty. It is important to note that this is not a remaining warranty policy.All HP Renew products can have their warranties upgraded to accommodate Critical System Support, extended to 3Yr 24x7 or HP Care Packs. This means any support uplift that is available for new HP products is also available for HP Renew products.
How do you guarantee data security on HP Renew remanufactured products?Since products in the HP Renew portfolio are returned to HP from various sources, there are often concerns about data being removed before the products are resold. As part of the rigorous refurbishment process all HP Renew products go through, all returned drives are reformatted and retested. During this process every drive is wiped clean of any data and every disk is separately overwritten. The process is based on methods described in the National Industrial Security Program Operation Manual (US DoD 5220.22-M) of the US Department of Defense so you can be assured the most stringent standards are implemented.
When is it appropriate to consider a remanufactured solution?Consider HP Renew if you or your customer can answer "yes" to any of the following questions:
