Our verdict on each
asgoodasnew
asgoodasnew suits buyers who want a graded, warranted computer, tablet or e-reader without paying new prices. Its entry point of €117, 2.5 years of warranty cover and 30 days for returns put it ahead of the new-machine sellers next to it on price and on cover.
Back Market
Back Market suits buyers who want a broad refurbished catalogue rather than new stock, with a 30 days return window behind every order. Trade in and an extended warranty soften the outlay, but click and collect is not offered, so the fit is shoppers ready to wait for delivery.

Pros and cons
asgoodasnew
Pros
- Cover runs 2.5 years, well past 1 for the brands compared.
- Returns run 30 days, so a graded machine can be examined at home before a decision.
- Condition is graded openly across like new, excellent and good, so the tier is known before checkout.
Cons
- Build to order is no, so configurations arrive finished rather than assembled to a brief.
- Phone is not among its support channels (email and help centre), so questions are handled in writing rather than by a call.
- Shipping covers the markets in Austria, DE and ES only, so buyers elsewhere need a local seller or a forwarder of their own.
Back Market
Pros
- On return days the store ranks 3 of 80, with 30 days to change your mind on any order.
- Trade in is offered, so an older handset or laptop can offset part of what a replacement costs.
- An extended warranty is available on top of standard cover, useful on refurbished hardware where faults surface early.
Cons
- Click and collect is not offered, so every order waits on delivery rather than a counter.
- Phone support is not among its support channels (chat, email and help centre), so help arrives in writing or in a chat window.
- Standard cover is 12 months on phones and 1 year on laptops, so anything longer sits with the paid extended warranty.
Who each suits
asgoodasnew
Who it suits
- Buyers who accept a graded machine to reach a lower entry point than €117 on comparable new hardware.
- Households that want 2.5 years of cover on a computer rather than the shorter terms common across the group.
- Tablet and e-reader buyers who want laptop, desktop and tablet in the same catalogue, with trade in and returns handled alongside.
Who should look elsewhere
- GEEKOM shoppers who want a new mini-PC or laptop picked to a specification rather than graded stock at a set grade.
- Scan and CyberPowerPC buyers who need build to order machines and Nvidia or AMD gaming graphics under the same roof.
Back Market
Who it suits
- Shoppers replacing a phone, laptop or tablet who want refurbished hardware without new retail pricing.
- Households spread across AU, AT and BE who would rather take one delivery than make a store visit.
- Buyers with an older device in a drawer, since trade in is offered and can cut what a replacement costs.
Who should look elsewhere
- Cameras and televisions: Akkuk.hu and Banggood both list tv and camera categories, which sit outside this range.
- Audio and gaming specialists: JBL lists audio, gaming and refurbished, so a tighter focus fits a shopping list built around sound and consoles.

Questions about each
asgoodasnew
What does the cheapest computer cost?+
The entry point is €117, and that is graded stock rather than a new machine. Across the brands compared, €86.82 is the middle starting price and the usual band runs €33.92 to €201.87. Because prices follow the condition grade, the same model can appear at several tiers.
How long is the warranty on a computer?+
Cover runs for 2.5 years, against 1 for the group, and an extended warranty is offered for buyers who want it to run longer. On graded hardware that length matters, since longer cover reduces the cost of an early fault. It sits among the longer terms in this field.
Back Market
How long do I have to return a device?+
Returns run 30 days from delivery, and that window covers refurbished hardware as well as the usual reasons for sending something back. Standard cover is 12 months on phones, with an extended warranty available for a longer term. Click and collect is not offered, so a return is a shipped journey rather than a walk in.
What condition will my device be in?+
Devices are graded across like new, excellent and good, so the cosmetic standard is yours to choose. Batteries start at 80% health, which is the part most likely to drive a replacement later and the easiest figure to compare across sellers. Read the grade and the battery health before paying, since the two shape the price gap.
