Laptop buyback — sell your business laptop fleet

Maxicom buys used business laptops in bulk across Singapore and Malaysia — Dell Latitude, Lenovo ThinkPad, HP EliteBook, Apple MacBook and more. Corporate, financial, government and education fleets refresh on tight cycles here, and each retired fleet is both a data-security liability and a recoverable asset. We grade, wipe every device to NIST 800-88, and pay in SGD — with a certificate of destruction for your records.

Why fleet buyback

A refresh is a budget line, not a disposal problem

When a Singapore corporate, bank, ministry or university refreshes its laptops, the outgoing fleet tends to be treated as a headache — devices to wipe, account for and get rid of. Handled as a buyback, it's the opposite: a recoverable asset that offsets the cost of the new estate. We grade each unit on model, specification and condition against the live secondary market, wipe every device to NIST 800-88 with a certificate, and pay in SGD. You clear the fleet, satisfy your data-protection obligations, and get paid — in one coordinated engagement.

What we buy

Laptops we actively buy

Model, specification, generation and condition set the price. A sample of what we actively buy:

Dell

Latitude business laptops, XPS ultrabooks and Precision mobile workstations from corporate and engineering fleets are steady, high-liquidity supply. Latitude fleets in particular refresh on tight three-to-four-year cycles across Singapore's banks, professional-services firms and statutory boards. Send the models, specs and quantities and we grade on generation, CPU, RAM and condition.

Lenovo ThinkPad

ThinkPad X, T, L and P-series carry strong, durable resale value and turn over in large corporate and government fleets across the region. We buy them by the fleet, wipe each device to standard, and price on configuration and cosmetic grade. Mixed X/T/L/P lots are one deal.

HP

EliteBook, ProBook and ZBook mobile workstations are common in enterprise and public-sector estates and clear readily on the secondary market. We take whole refresh fleets, faulty units included, and settle in SGD. Include the model line and screen sizes in your list.

Apple

MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, both Intel and Apple-silicon, hold value especially well — but they must be released from Apple Business Manager and any MDM before we can resell them. We advise on release, wipe every device, and price on model, chip, memory and condition. Design, media and executive fleets are welcome.

2-in-1 & tablets

Microsoft Surface devices and business convertibles from hybrid-work fleets are regular supply with their own steady market. We buy them alongside the laptop estate, wipe and grade each, and price on model and condition. Tell us the mix and quantities.

Docks, monitors & peripherals

A laptop refresh usually retires the docks, monitors and accessories with it, and in volume these carry real value rather than being an afterthought. We take them in the same deal so you clear the whole desk-setup estate at once. Include counts of docks and monitor sizes.

Faulty & graded

Units with screen, keyboard, battery or board faults are priced on parts and grade, not turned away — a faulty-heavy fleet still carries recoverable value. Tell us the rough condition split (working, minor, faulty) and we price the mix accordingly.

Mixed fleets

Varied makes, models and ages from a multi-site estate or an office move are normal supply and one settlement, not a sorting exercise for you. We grade each unit on merit against the live market. The larger and more complete the fleet, the sharper the number.

What it's worth

How much is a used business laptop fleet worth?

A retiring laptop fleet is worth the graded resale value of its devices on the secondary market — set by make and model, processor, memory, storage, screen size, generation and cosmetic condition — plus the value of having the data destroyed and the disposition documented for you. A three-year-old fleet of well-specified Latitudes, ThinkPads, EliteBooks or MacBooks can offset a meaningful share of the new estate's cost; a faulty-heavy or older fleet is priced on parts and grade but still carries value. Quantity matters — a whole fleet prices better than scattered units.

Send the models, specifications and quantities, with a rough condition split, and we return a written offer in SGD together with a wipe-and-collect plan timed to your rollout — so there's no gap with old and new kit on site, and every device leaves with a certificate of destruction.

The regional picture

Fleet-heavy sectors on a fast refresh cycle

Singapore concentrates exactly the organisations that run large, well-maintained laptop fleets: banks and insurers, the public sector and statutory boards, professional-services firms and universities — many refreshing every three to four years under clear data-governance rules. Malaysia's corporate and education sectors add scale. That makes fleet buyback a regular, sizeable market, and one where certified data destruction isn't optional. We're built for it: graded valuation, wipe-with-certificate, and collection timed to your rollout.

What we take, and who it's for

A business and bulk service for corporates, banks, government, schools and resellers across Singapore and Malaysia. We buy fleets, not single personal laptops — the larger the fleet, the sharper the price.
Data security

Every device wiped, released and documented

Every laptop is sanitised to NIST 800-88 with a certificate of destruction before resale; devices that can't be wiped have their storage physically destroyed. We can only resell devices you're authorised to release, so please clear them from your MDM, Apple Business Manager or Microsoft management first — we'll advise on the process. The result is a disposition report your PDPA compliance and your auditor can rely on.

How it works

How selling your business laptops works

  1. Send your list. A spreadsheet, an inventory, or just photos — make, model, rough condition and quantity.
  2. Get a written quote. Priced in SGD against the live secondary market, line-item where it helps.
  3. We collect. Free across Singapore, arranged across Malaysia, on a documented chain of custody.
  4. Data wiped, you get paid. Certificate of destruction, settlement in SGD once your inventory is reconciled.

Data security

Nothing moves until your data is destroyed

Every data-bearing drive is sanitised to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 (HDD) and IEEE 2883-2022 (SSD/NVMe), with a certificate of destruction, on a documented chain of custody. Drives that can't be wiped are physically destroyed through a vetted partner. Certified destruction is what makes buyback safe under Singapore's PDPA and Malaysia's PDPA — so it's included in the deal, not billed as an extra.

Who we work with

Who sells to us

Offices and corporates clearing space · IT teams running a refresh · data centres decommissioning across Singapore and the Johor/Iskandar corridor · banks, healthcare and government needing certified data destruction · schools and universities · and resellers, distributors, ITADs and MSPs clearing surplus and client stock. One unit or a warehouse — the process is the same, and the paperwork always holds up.

Trade welcome

Resellers, distributors and traders

Are you a reseller, distributor or trader sitting on surplus, overstock or end-of-line IT? That's our favourite call. We buy bulk lots outright, price to the live secondary market, and move fast — see how we handle trade stock →
