Buying a Used Laptop

No it is not worth it to buy a second hand laptop. Why save a hundred bucks on a older computer that could have problems with its RAM, or Harddrive, or screen? The screen on a laptop is the most expensive part too replace, and who knows when it could go. Maybe when you looked at it the screen was perfect not a dead pixtel you could see, but the next day sure enough lines start popping up on the screen. Now you have spent your hundred bucks or so, and have a piece of junk. You probably would not find it worth it to replace a screen that would be more then what you paid for it.
Chances are when you buy a used laptop there will not be any warranty left on it. A warranty is a key component when buyings a laptop. Anything could go wrong with it, but with warranty the company will cover. Not the random guy you got it from down the road.
Everyday there is new technolgy put into computers. if you are buying a older used laptop chances are it is a couple years old. That might sound great but laptops aren't like a car. A couple years in a computer year is old. RAM's are less, hard drive is smaller, video cards less grapfic, sound cards not as good. So if your going to spend the money, why not get something up to date. Maybe the second hand computer just needs aRAM upgrade the guy tells you. You think great one part and this will e in great condition. Your wrong RAM and range from 50 to 200 dollars, 50 being the smallest most usuless amount.
If it where up too me chances are i wouldn't buy a used a Laptop. Maybe is it was from someone who i knew well, knew how they treated it, and it was only a couple months old only. i might get it. But I would inspect it from top to bottom researching the make and model seeing if it had recalls or major problems. That is the only way i would possibly buy a used laptop.
