2nd Generation Apple TV- brand new (Bangkok) THB8000

Second hand laptop prices are always discounted from their list price. Their original list price! You couldn’t find a laptop priced for less than a grand a few years ago. A company that bought a bunch of cheap laptops a few years back for a $1000 each and is now upgrading them to new laptops will offer them to employees at 50% off. The employees think it’s a great bargain and pay $500 for obsolete junk (often with the software removed if the company is conscientious) when they could be buying a brand new laptop for the same price that’s several generations better. I’m not exaggerating here, it happens all the time.

The same thing happens with the reconditioned notebooks sold over the Internet or on ebay. The seller says, “List price $1,699″ or “I paid $2,349″ but they’re talking about a retail laptop prices without rebates that are three or five years old. Look carefully at the capabilities of these notebooks. If they were really high-end at the time, the CPU speed might be a little higher than the $500 new laptop with rebates, but it probably won’t have as much memory, may not have a DVD player, if it has wireless, it will be an external adapter, the battery will be on its last legs, and the screen will have dead pixels. The model that “listed” at $1,699 will be promoted as a steal at $795, and the $2,349 laptop (with “$1,000 of software I added”) will have a minimum bid of $1200. They may get it to, but not from you (I hope). You should be buying a tremendous new laptop for that kind of money, with a new warrantee, and all the latest bells and whistles for loading your digital camera film, etc.

Like most people, you probably dream of the newest, hottest thing on the market—maybe a Macbook Air or Dell’s new Studio Hybrid? No. Instead, check out some of the best computers from last year or earlier this year. These are the laptops you should choose from in the used market—and generally, they’ll perform the same tasks that this year’s models do. As an added bonus, you can try to find a computer from 2007 with Windows XP installed instead of Vista!

Buy a laptop that has its original “recovery CD”. What some sellers do is wipe the drive and put Linux on it because they lost the original Windows disc, i.e. “recovery CD”. This sucks because in reality Windows may run best on that laptop over Linux (due to proprietary hardware with proprietary drivers). The first thing you should do with any used laptop is immediately do a “slow” format of the hard drive (this will mark any bad sectors) then pop in the recovery disc and install the provided Windows OS. If you like it, stick with it. If not, wipe it out and put on Linux.
