Used Laptop buying guide
However, buying a used laptop or computer sometimes comes with a challenge that you can easily avoid. Below are some challenges that sometimes come with buying used laptops or computers and how to avoid them.
When buying a used laptop or computer, because you might not have the time to check all aspects of the laptop to see if everything works well, you tend to purchase a faulty one without knowing, and if you bought it from an unknown person (not from a shop), there is little or no chance to reach back out to these sellers again.
Prevention: Before purchasing a used laptop, make sure to perform thorough checks in the following areas:
i. Keyboard: Open any notepad on the laptop and make sure to enter any character on the keyboard to make sure everything works.
ii. Battery Health and Life: While the laptop is on and running, make sure to monitor the rate at which the battery runs down; if it drains quickly, there is an issue with the battery. The minimum battery life of a good used laptop should be at least 2 hours.
iii. Check the storage size to see if it is really what the seller says it is.
To check, press Windows Button + E on the keyboard. And find the “This PC” icon to click on; this will show you the size of the hard drive available in the laptop.
iv. Check the size of the processor and the RAM to see if it is really what the seller says it is.
To check, press Windows Button + E on your keyboard. Locate the “This PC” icon and right-click it to open a menu. Now click on “Properties.” This will show you the size of the processor and RAM.
