subject: A Buyers Guide To Refurbished Laptops [print this page] Today, businessmen and students cannot do without Laptops. While a very important accessory they are also very pricey. That's why we've seen a large increase in the demand for refurbished laptops. While remodeled laptops are considerably cheaper, you need to be sure your purchase provides you with long term value.
Remodeled laptops can prove to be a costly mistake if you make an unwise purchase. For this reason I have developed a checklist to follow and cross off when shopping for your refurbished laptop. This will ensure you get a good quality product and protect you from being duped. Laptops are very different to general PCs and so will need alternate set of guidelines before purchasing them as their specifications and details vary from ordinary desktop computers.
Checklist for revamped laptop seekers:
Work your way through this list before purchasing your refurbished laptop.
Stick with a long established, reputable reseller of refurbished laptops. His valuable experience and goodwill will ensure that he tests and endorse a product before putting it up for sale and will also give you a warranty.
Stick with the big name brands. Companies such as IBM, Dell and Apple all offer high quality factory refurbished laptops. They ensure that all their revamped products are cleared through their quality checks before being shipped to dealers.
Cell life. A laptop is only as good as the condition of its battery. One of the most important things to look out for would be the duration of charge that the remodeled laptop can maintain. This can be done in the shop before you purchase and is well worth your time.
Specifications. Make sure you look out for each and every specification of the laptop that you wish to purchase. Does it have all the necessary cards, what is the hard disk capacity, RAM, software etc should be thoroughly investigated. Your refurbished laptop probably won't come in a box with all specs listed on it, so it's up to you to discover these things for yourself.
Screen check. Pay close attention to the monitor and ensure that the screen is devoid of any defects. Look out for any kind of abnormalities including dead pixels. 6 Laptop model. Do not go for a model that is more than four years old. Only recent models will be equipped with the latest technology making older versions obsolete. It can also be tough to track down parts for older models.

Things like adding more memory, updating video cards and adding software are all simple to do at this time. If you follow these practices, you will be able to be a proud owner of a remodeled laptop that will feel and work just as new as the latest laptop in the market.
Get a clear picture about what you want, make some enquiries and check out your options which will all help you in getting the perfect remodeled laptop.
