Best Computer I.T. Repair and Solutions (Bangkok)

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.

Don’t get frustrated if everything isn’t perfect right from the start. Remember that people have problems with their brand new computers pretty often as well. Even if you have to fork up some money for small repairs or upgrades, rest assured that your decision was environmentally and economically sound.

Buy a laptop with warranty still in effect : it is always recommended to only buy a used laptop that has an existing warranty. This way if anything breaks on it, it’s covered. The number one most expensive part on a laptop is the LCD screen. Always has been and always will be. If you buy a used unit and its screen is dim, flickers, has odd colors, etc. – SEND IT OUT for repair.
