Buying A Used Laptop.

Depending on where you buy a laptop either it be ebay, kijiji, or refurbished from the manufacturer you could be looking into a money pit. Cracks or a scratch in the screen means you could be looking into buying a new screen which can be quite costly. If you battery is fairly old you could be looking at 100-150 dollars for a new battery. Also make sure the ram is at least 40gb and not 10gb. Make sure the hard drive is in good condition because a hard drive can run you at least 60 dollars. Make sure that the laptop has a wireless card, they can cost up to 50 dollars or more. I would not buy a secondhand laptop.
