+
+## Our approach
+
+We are committed to a pragmatic approach to hardware and software. Our solution are designed to be usable without advanced computer skills.
+
+Our laptops and phones are designed to provide the best compromise between privacy, security and accessibility.
+
+Our hardware is second hand. This allows to offer hardware that is affordable and sustainable.
+
+Different grades of hardware are available from as new condition to devices with minor cosmetic wear and tear. This will naturally affect the price.
+
+Our offering is that we will procure and configure software to your needs, ship it to you and then can provide [compassionate paid support](/) over the lifetime of the hardware.
