Questions about Order

Placing an order

Whether you want to pay all at once or have a monthly subscription, you can order a laptop from us quickly and easily.

Together with your school or educational institution, we have already selected the suitable laptop for you, so you will always make the right choice!

Difference between rent and buy

Whether you rent or buy, a device from Studywise always comes with a security package. So there is no difference in terms of service between renting and buying.

However, there are some other differences. Below, we have highlighted these differences for you.

Rental: Buy:
You will be provided with a device on loan* The device is your property right away
You pay a deposit of 4x the monthly fee** You don't pay a deposit
You pay a fixed monthly or annual fee You pay everything at once



* At the end of the contract, you will be given the option to keep the device. If you choose this option, we will keep the deposit and the device will be your property.
** When you return the device at the end of the contract, you will get your deposit back.

Buy and pay in instalments

It is not possible to buy a device from us and pay in instalments. If you want to pay for the laptop in instalments, you can rent it. Here you can choose a monthly or annual payment.

If you buy the laptop, it must always be paid for in one go.

Different terms

We offer a variety of terms, so you can always find a suitable term that matches your (expected) education. Below you can find an overview of our different terms.

Term:
24 months (2 years)
36 months (3 years)
48 months (4 years)

 

Final order date

It is possible to place an order at Studywise at any time of the year. Even if the school year is in full swing, we can always help you!

Repair costs

With an Convenience and Certainty service package, you are guaranteed a fast and good repair. In many cases, this is at no charge, for example when there is a factory error or when the device no longer works properly through normal use.

If the device is broken due to your own fault, such as falling off a table, the own risk will be charged. The amount of the own risk depends on the chosen device. If we see that the device has been broken on purpose, the full repair costs will be charged. Thankfully, this does not happen very often.

For more information, you can always check our Terms and Conditions.

Duration of repair

One thing is for sure: when your device is broken, you want it back as soon as possible! We try to complete every repair within 10 working days of receipt. However, this is not always possible. This may be due to busyness or because the parts needed to repair are hard to get.

When your repair is finished, you will immediately receive a message from us. In the meantime, you can check the status here.

My charger is broken

Your charger is an important part of your laptop. After all, you can't use your laptop without one. That's why we want to help you as soon as possible in case of problems.

Is your charger broken due to damage, such as water damage, because your dog bit the cable or because of a cable fracture? Then it is not covered by warranty and we recommend you order a new charger. You can do this in My Studywise.



Is your charger not broken due to damage? Then please contact our Customer Service. We can then help you further so you can get back to work as soon as possible!

My device has been stolen

Of course, when your device is stolen, it is incredibly annoying! In specific cases, the theft of your device will be covered by the warranty. This varies per situation.

You should first report the theft to the police. Without a report, we cannot help you.

After this, you can send the report to info@studywise.nl. We will then contact you to discuss whether and what we can do for you.

Warranty after repair

After every repair, you get a 6-month warranty on the part we have replaced and the work we have carried out. On a battery that has been replaced, you get a 12-month warranty.

For more information, please check our Terms and Conditions.

Questions about Technical help

Battery runs out quickly

Do you notice your device's battery draining quickly? This could have several causes. Thankfully, there are some simple tweaks that can help extend your battery life.

  • Turn on energy-saving mode: this will save power and extend the usage time.
  • Lower screen brightness: a brightly lightened screen uses a lot of energy, adjust this to a lower level.
  • Close unused programs: open programs in the background use unnecessary power.
  • Turn off wifi and bluetooth when not in use: unnecessary connections cost energy.
  • Do not charge other devices through a USB port: this draws power and drains the battery faster.
  • Adjust screen settings in bright conditions: are you sitting in the sun and your screen is very bright automatically? Turn this down manually.

Keyboard or touchpad not working

Upgrade to Windows 11

After October 14, 2025, Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10. This means no more updates, technical help and security updates will be released. Your laptop will still work, but we recommend upgrading to Windows 11.

Will you continue using Windows 10 anyway? Then you may face the following disadvantages:

  • No more security updates: security breaches are no longer fixed leaving your system vulnerable to viruses, malware and hackers.
  • Increased risk of cyber attacks: hackers often target outdated systems without security patches.
  • No technical support from Microsoft: you can no longer get help from Microsoft with problems.
  • Compatibility issues: new software and hardware may no longer be supported on Windows 10.
  • Compliance risks: business users may be in violation of regulations and industry standards for cybersecurity.
  • Performance issues: without updates, bugs, crashes and system instability may become more common.
  • No new features: Windows 10 receives no more improvements, while newer Windows versions receive updates and innovations.

By upgrading to Windows 11 on time, you'll benefit from better security, improved performance and the latest features. Do you want to know how to upgrade your laptop? Click the button below and follow Microsoft's steps.
