Business hardware that arrives ready to use.
Dell and business-grade kit at trade pricing, built before it ships. The user opens the box, signs in with their work account, and everything is already there.

The saving on the box disappears in the setup.
A consumer laptop looks cheaper until someone spends half a day removing bundled software, joining it to your systems and moving data across, then finds the warranty means posting it away for three weeks.
Bought retail
Cheap on paper.
- Return-to-base warranty and weeks without a machine

From order to signed in, without an engineer touching it.
For Microsoft 365 clients, we register each device to your company at the point of order. It can ship straight to someone’s home and still arrive fully set up.
Order against a standard build
We keep a specification per role. You ask for a role, not a processor generation.

What we supply.
We only quote hardware we are happy to support for its whole life, because we are the ones who will fix it.
Dell laptops and desktops
Latitude laptops and OptiPlex desktops with three-year on-site warranty, up to Precision workstations for CAD and design.
Apple and other brands
MacBooks and business ranges from Lenovo and HP where they fit better.
Servers and storage
Specified for the workload, with redundancy and warranty terms that match how critical it is.
Network hardware
Firewalls, switches and access points from the ranges we manage.
Docks, screens and headsets
The accessories that decide whether hybrid working is pleasant or irritating.
Warranty handling
We hold the serials and raise manufacturer claims ourselves.
Refresh planning
Every device tracked with age and warranty, so replacements land in your budget rather than as a surprise.
Secure disposal
Certified data destruction and WEEE recycling, with a certificate for your records.
Replace kit on a plan, not on a failure.
Devices bought in a rush cost more and arrive slower. Unsupported operating systems and out-of-warranty machines also count against Cyber Essentials and most insurance policies, so the refresh plan is a compliance document as much as a budget.
| Asset | Typical life | Replace when |
|---|---|---|
| Laptops | 4 years | Warranty or OS support ends |
| Desktops | 5 years | Warranty ends |
| Servers | 5 to 6 years | Extended warranty ends |
| Firewalls | 4 to 5 years | Security updates end |
| Switches and access points | 6 to 7 years | Firmware support ends |
A guideline. Your plan is built from your actual estate.
“Matt and his team at Octotech recently upgraded my hardware setup. Matt was very knowledgable and gave some great advice. I am thrilled with the new setup as it is much quicker and allows me to easily access my files remotely.”
Questions we get asked
What is Windows Autopilot?
Windows Autopilot is a Microsoft service that registers a new device to your company before it is delivered. When the user first signs in, the laptop sets itself up with your security settings, apps and policies, without an engineer touching it.
Are you cheaper than buying direct?
On the hardware, usually similar, because we pass on trade pricing. The saving is in the setup time, the on-site warranty and nobody sitting idle while a machine is sorted.
Do we have to buy from you?
No. Managed support covers your devices wherever they came from. Buying through us just means they arrive ready and we hold the warranty details.
Can we spread the cost?
Yes, for larger purchases. We show the outright and financed cost side by side.
What happens to old machines?
Certified data destruction, then recycling, with a certificate. If there is resale value we credit it against the new order.
