Whether or not to buy a used laptop

When buying a used laptop only one real rule stands out. Don’t. There as a considerable amount of inherent issues when purchasing any piece of technology second hand. According to all of the information on the three sites given as research material I must disagree with their verdict on the second hand piece of machinery.
Now when buying a laptop, even the newer models indeed do not work correctly for quite some time, one must consider the fact that chances are good the laptops lifespan is probably reaching its end. I have a personal grudge against second hand computers and laptops from personal experience, not what a fellow writes. The computer will fail in some ways while others it may excel in, when purchasing this new laptop a completely upgraded system is needed as upon reaching the three year mark, laptop components are so worn out they become quite useless. This makes buying a used laptop pointless as unless it is for doing simple word processing it will not even come close to modern expectations such as internet, music, video, and gaming. All components need to be upgraded to a previous year’s model or they will not perform for the cost of the laptop unless it was maybe fifty bucks (example). Now onto pricing and performance.
As it is with any computer, you always will pay for what you get. In other words the more you spend the better things you will get, this is not true in the world of used components and laptop items as often times even checking the components does not confirm issues, there could be a small crack in the hard drive platter that even the owner was not aware of, or perhaps the better half of the keys in the keyboard had fallen off and were glued back on.
In conclusion it isn’t worth it to waste money on a used laptop and anyone should simply go out and purchase a new one as it will last longer as well as outperform any previously manufactured laptop.
