Firstly I must say that I very rarely write reviews but in this instance I really wanted to spread the word. I contacted Black Barn Computers to ask for advice - we wanted to install some new software at home but our computer wasn't up to the job. I knew the 'minimum requirements and recommended requirements' for the software but didn't have a clue what sort of computer to buy etc. Wesley was brilliant! He suggested a computer that he had in stock and in the end we bought a computer, a graphics card (again, I hadn't a clue about these!), a new keyboard and mouse and a fabulous screen. Everything arrived promptly and is up and running. The computer and screen look as good as new and the software works beautifully. All this for £500 when I had thought I would need to spend over £1000 to buy just a new computer, yet alone the add-ons. I would definitely recommend this company.

Really A++ service from Blacbarn. I needed a fast pc and wasn’t sure about the quality of refurbished ones and had an online chat with a friendly technician who put me at ease. Purchased the highest spec PC available at that time and it arrived within 48 hours. Wrapped and packed very well and looked totally new. Started it up and it was amazing. So fast and absolutely no problems whatsoever and I have decided refurbished pcs are better than new ones at up to 50% lower than the new price. Blackbarn a re very professional and in my opinion are the best dealers out there after doing my research on other refurbished dealers. After this experience I also ordered a refurbished laptop for my daughter and again amazing service and great laptop!

I have recently purchased 2 machines from Black Barn Computers, the process was very easy and there was extremely good communication from Wesley throughout, all machines arrived fully setup with all the windows updates already installed and the latest graphics drivers, (this has saved me a lot of time when setting these machines up) The spec of the machines is very good and at an extremely competitive price. in all excellent service.

I had an online chat with Wes who answered all my queries regarding what I was intending to use any potential purchase for. I do music production and needed something with a good CPU. The model I chose arrived looking like new, and works perfectly. No problems with handling large music projects, unlike my previous computer. Great service and products. Would highly recommend.

Ordered a Dell laptop 12:30 Friday lunchtime & received it 12:30 Monday lunchtime! For a refurbished item it is in immaculate condition and it has windows 7 which I prefer, basic AVG anti-virus which I will replace later after cooling down period. I was a bit dubious buying a refurbished pc but would recommend Black Barn Computers to a friend or relative!

I have purchased items from Black Barn a few times before and always had excellent service and product. This latest occasion (yesterday)found them at their superb best. A Dell PC ordered at 9.30am arrived at precisely 9.30am this morning, some 130miles north of their location. I can truly recommend them to all, and do so, and will certainly be using them again as and when I have need of their services and products.

I'm 81 but not too bad at computers. I needed to replace a tower for my desktop. I bought one from a cheap laptop company who provide reconditioned Computers. I won't mention their name but, like a fool I didn't look up their reviews....big error! I returned the item and had to threaten legal action before getting my money returned. Black Barn has reviews to die for so as soon as I received my refund I ordered from Black Barn by phone and the gent I spoke to (not allowed to mention name) Was so helpful giving me valuable advice and I he was just about to go home but stayed to help me. I haven't set it up yet...still clearing office but I m confident all will be well. That's the kind of company anyone can recommend and I tell everyone I meet about them, just as many as I tell about the other lot. Well done BLACK BARN you now have one more faithful and delighted customer.

Ordered very late on the Wednesday night, turned up on the Friday, got it as a first laptop for my 12 year old daughter. A+ condition, very impressed with all correspondence from Black Barn, very nice laptop complete with DVD burner upgraded ram and good size hard drive, loads cheaper than buying a new one, definitely recommend.

Ordered my machine Saturday, with two upgrades to the basic spec. The machine arrived on Tuesday! It functions perfectly and, despite being a refurb, looks new. Thanks Wesley and team.

Ordered Saturday, specifying two upgrades. Machine arrived Tuesday! It's a refurb, but looks great, clean and tidy. Functions perfectly. Why didn't I know about these people earlier?

Unlike some other "bargain-priced" second hand offerings elsewhere, the Dell 4GB RAM Windows-7 PC received was fully updated with all subsequent Win-7 upgrades, including MS Net Framework 4, which can prove very difficult, if not impossible, to download oneself from the net. This meant that installing my printer was plain sailing, followed by downloading all my other required office software packages, so that I was fully up and running very quickly. The PC was in very good clean condition, with hardly any evidence at all of previous use and was despatched the day following the late afternoon that I submitted my order. The chap on the phone was friendly and helpful and his assurances about what would be included in the pre-loaded software were fully borne out in fact. A second hand Pentium-4 previously purchased from Black Barn was still giving faultless service after nearly 7 years, before slow speed due to no longer adequate memory finally prompted me to upgrade. A happily satisfied customer.

Black Barn Computers were recommended by a colleague at work. Had planned to pop in to their premises but found I did not have the time, ordered online one Evening, confirmation and shipping received following day. Arrived well packaged next day and is exactly as ordered, only hiccup was courier delivering to a neighbour when we were home, but not really anything Black Barn could do about that. Communications with Black Barn have been informative and friendly, would definitely use again and recommend to others.

Black Barn Computers have just supplied a refurbished Dell laptop which arrived spotlessly clean without a mark to show it wasn't brand new. My requirements were unusual - I wanted Windows 7 so I could run my disc copy of Office 2003 and an old version of Sage Accounts. None of the other desktops in our office had taken the downloads as they were newer Windows and without Office 2003. The laptop is now a security back up should my pc ever fail and has the advantage I can take it 1nto the office ( I work from home) Without blinking an eye, Black Barn took receipt of my antiquated disc programmes, loaded them onto the laptop and sent the whole lot back..... perfect! I am a very happy customer and would have no hesitation in recommending Black Barn Computers.

I wanted a mid range/mid aged PC I could upgrade a little more if needed (SSD+RAM) and found myself looking through the refurbished devices at Black Barn Computers. Took the plunge. I wasn't disappointed. Communication: Great comms from beginning to end gave me high confidence. Delivery: Courier message updates let me know via 3 or so texts when the driver would arrive right up to the actually time. Goods: PC arrived. I know that refurb means someone else has previous owned it. I opened the PC case to have a quick look inside... Spotless. Not a spec of dust and everything tidy. Wow! Plugged everything together. Fired it up. Works great. Installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Smooth. Has worked fast and without a hitch for 3 days now. Thanks for the quality service and professionally refurbed gear! Will use again and recommend.

When my PC (running 32 Windows 7),crashed I borrowed an old replacement which was very slow so I searched the web for a temporary replacement until I got to grips with a new laptop (running 64 bit Windows 8.1). I decided that a Dell Latitude D620 Laptop (running 32 bit Windows 7) from Blackbarncomputers would be suitable. I am pleased to say that it has done everything I wanted (even the screen saver it came with was from a local landmark) and I think it was the best £99 I have ever spent on PC's/peripherals.
