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.
Minisforum
Minisforum suits buyers who want a single maker for both a compact mini PC and a full gaming PC, and who pick a spec at checkout rather than take a fixed build. Entry pricing of $194.90 is competitive rather than the lowest here.

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.
Minisforum
Pros
- A single maker covers both a mini PC and a gaming PC, so you can change size without changing brand.
- Build to order is a yes, so memory and chip choices are made when you buy rather than fixed in advance.
- Memory reaches 128 GB, which keeps a compact machine useful for heavier work later on.
Cons
- Machines come with Windows, so anyone after a different desktop has to install it after delivery.
- Cover is 2 years, which is modest for a machine bought with the intention of keeping it for years.
- A return window of 30 days is brief next to a machine that needs time to settle in.
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.
Minisforum
Who it suits
- Buyers who want a compact PC and a full gaming machine from the same brand.
- People who would rather choose memory and graphics options at checkout than take a fixed spec.
- Anyone who values a configurable build and a returns window over the lowest sticker price.
Who should look elsewhere
- Laptop buyers, who will find laptop, gaming laptop and desktop a closer fit at Scan.
- Shoppers after a full-size gaming box with no mini PCs, where Corsair lists gaming pc only.
- Buyers who want a tower desktop rather than a compact case, since CyberPowerPC lists laptop, gaming laptop and desktop and no mini PC.

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.
Minisforum
How much does a Minisforum PC cost?+
The cheapest Minisforum machine is listed at $194.90. That is the entry point for the range rather than a mid-range figure, and it is worth holding next to Corsair, Scan and CyberPowerPC before you commit. Because Minisforum builds to order, the spec you pick at checkout is what you pay for in the box.
Which operating system do Minisforum PCs run?+
Minisforum machines run Windows. If you are used to a different desktop, you would be starting fresh and installing your own system after delivery. It is worth settling that before you buy, because it changes which software you can expect to open straight away.
