Sourcing the replacement
While we collaborate with various shipping partners that offer a vast selection of workstations for immediate shipment, we always strive to provide a like-for-like replacement (including the OEM, model, RAM, CPU, SSD, screen size, etc. However, it's important to note that we may not always be able to satisfy highly specific requirements.
