Refurbished laptop computer review
What does refurbished mean?
There's a MASSIVE range in the quality of refurbished gear
available for sale. Some dealers at the lower end of the scale
do not really refurbish computers at all - obviously broken
parts may be replaced but little more than that is done. If you
receive a cheap laptops that is not even been properly cleaned,
it is highly unlikely that it has been refurbished whatsoever -
it is simply a used computer with software reloaded onto it's
hard drive, with little or no other inspection. Obviously the
failure rate of units like these is much higher. In an industry
with tightening margins, unfortunately many dealers now fill
pressured to cut costs in the preparation of refurbished laprops
and computers.
Common Issues with Refurbished computers / laptops
Chassis / cosmetic damage Any crack (especially around the
hinges), discoloration or other damage to any part of the cheap
laptops body should have been corrected with a replacement part
Drive faults Any component faults in a unit such as a faulty
Hard Drive, mouse etc must be corrected. Hard Drive, floppy
drive and CD Rom drive faults are the most common hardware
problems discovered.
Screen faults The TFT screen has a limited life span and is very
expensive to replace. Faults to look for include damaged pixels
(dots on screen - a few of these are not serious and should be
ignored) and overall darkening of the screen or a screen that is
slow to warm up. The latter is more serious and is probably lead
to complete failure
Very poor battery life / battery not charging The quality the
batteries supplied with a laptop very massively. You should not
expect a battery to be "as good as new" on your cheap laptops
unless they are specifically described as such. A battery life
of 30 minutes is good; in reality you will be using it with the
PSU most of the time.
Intermittent crashing If this is not the result of an incorrect
or damaged software installation (which is usually the case), it
is probably caused by motherboard damage - always requiring a
professional repair. view: Gadget Blog
