I may wish to buy a laptop for some friends and I am not against purchasing a used one; while I am not against it – I do realize that there can be significant risk in doing that.

How aboput re-furbished ones? Or How to go about buying a used Laptop. I know some folks up grade, change their minds, etc…. There are many possible valid reasons to sell a used one, but the condition and price are certainly huge concerns. Web sites? Tips?
THX.

Refurbished are repaired by the factory, and they meet certain quality standards. They are a bit better than straight up used ones since they’ve been reconditioned and have something like a 30-90 day warranty.

Tips:
Look for visible hurt, scuffs, weak keys, etc, that could be a sign of excessive wear. Remember it is a laptop, and so you will get a few light scratches/scuffs carrying it around, but the cleaner the better (even refurbished could have cosmetic flaws). If you see large scratch patterns it could be a sign of more serious hurt, like the dog started playing with it or something.

An optimized laptop is a used laptop which will be upgraded by a professional and made like new again and place for sale. Really people use laptop in different cases like browsing the web, using word processor, spread sheets, downloading songs, playing games, burning CD’s, watching movies, small business use etc. Mostly all the used laptops will have all the tasks mentioned above. There won’t be much difference between the groundbreaking new laptop and used laptop. Instead of spending more on groundbreaking new laptop, one can go in for used laptop according to his need or necessity, as all the basic tasks are available in all the used models.

Day-to-day the changes are taking place is drastic and modern technology prevails a lot all over the world and people need the best and new in each and every thing they have. It applies to the laptops too. As new and improved versions of laptops come into the market, people will start to buy them and this is the main reason that very easily we can find quality used laptops that too for reasonable prices. Most people are satisfied with the laptops which are less than two to three years ancient. But the used laptops are less in speed, even though they can still accomplish majority of the jobs performed by the new ones.

Many laptop users avoid buying used laptops due to lack of warranty. In case of new laptop, the price of warranty will be included in the price of the laptop and the warranty will exist up to one year from the date of buy. But if the warranty has to be extended, the payment will be more which will nearly reach the cost of a new laptop. Thus, used laptop without warranty is much cheaper compared to new laptop and payment for repair will also be less.

In case of purchasing an optimized laptop, the individual can expect the following:

All major tasks can be used

The cost will be half compared to the groundbreaking new laptop

Technical aspects will be excellent and also last for long number of years

Parts will be available in case of any repair

Business laptops will work better because they will be single handed. Home user laptops are generally given shorter warranty and they last until the warranty expires. In case of any repair occurs after the warranty period, the parts available in the market will be very expensive to fix in the laptop. So, in this case the user will sell the ancient laptop and go in for new one. So an individual has to buy an optimized laptop which will suit his needs and last for many number of years which will also be a excellent savings from him.
