About R&C Hardware Solutions

East London's trusted source for high-quality refurbished laptops at affordable prices

Our Story

Founded in 2023 by Raz and Cia, R&C Hardware Solutions began with a simple mission: to provide East London residents with access to high-performance, affordable computing solutions while reducing electronic waste.

As technology enthusiasts and entrepreneurs, we recognized the growing need for reliable yet budget-friendly laptops among students, small businesses, and professionals in our community.

What started as a small operation refurbishing a handful of laptops has grown into East London's premier destination for quality refurbished HP, Dell, and Lenovo laptops, with plans to expand our reach across South Africa.
