What to look for when buying a used notebook
#useful #info
Of course, it’s good to beat everything, but there are also situations where you have to buy something used.
Used, which means it has worked for a certain amount of time, the most important thing to know is how damaged the equipment you are buying at that particular time is.
In this post I will write down what you need to pay attention to when buying a Notebook that has been running for some time. First of all, when buying this type of notebook, take about 1 hour to check it, if Windows system is installed, it will take up to 30 minutes.
So you have 30 minutes, during which time check the following:
1. Appearance. Carefully inspect for any scratches, mechanical damage, or any spilled parts.
2. Battery. Within 30 minutes, use this notebook to the maximum and pay attention to the battery discharge, if the charge decreases too fast, it means that this notebook has been used for a long time or the battery has been misused. You can read information about the battery in this post (https://t.me/planetait/835).
3. Agreements. Check every USB, HDMI, CardReader, RG45 and even power button available on the notebook one by one.
4. Modules. Check WiFi, Bluetooth, audio, microphone, Web camera modules.
5. Keyboard. Some keys may not work if any liquid is spilled on the keyboard or there is a mechanical impact. Read this post (https://t.me/planetait/397) on how to check all the buttons.
6. Touchpad. Usually the left button that is pressed too much will not work well, be aware of this.
7. Screen. There may be some dullness or non-functioning pixels on the screen, read this post (https://t.me/planetait/599) on how to check them.
8. Check by model. Identify the model of the notebook (will be pasted or Win + R → msinfo32) and check on what characteristics it is released over the Internet based on this model. This way, you will know if additional resources have been added or reduced.
9. Get acquainted with the characteristics of the notebook. Make sure all resources you are told are in place. For information about the notebook, you can use the program AIDA (https://t.me/planetaitsoft/56) or the utility Win + R → msinfo32.
10. Check resources. The most useful way to check resources, such as hard drives (HDDs), processors (CPUs), RAM, is to load them, run a more powerful game or program, and torture resources if there is any odor or freezing. if cases arise, then they have problems.
☝️The main aspects are. Don't be fooled, if possible, get a used notebook from a friend, and if it turns out to be the case, go and get it for the person.
PS One more thing, if you find any problem with the above, ask for a discount and ask for a warranty of at least 1 month.
