Tips for buying hardware?
#3
Problem with used laptops is the battery.If the previous owner always had it plugin, this can cause premature battery failure.
If you need the laptop on the road, buying a used one for a bargain and having to find and shell out more than the laptop price for a new battery could be a pain.I only recommend official manufacturer batteries and not ebay "clones" that are notorious for having issue or not work at all.Problem is the official ones can drain wallets.
For desktop, I suggest something local that you can see before you buy.And you have to know your stuff or have a friend who does because anything could be inside, good and bad components.
** most important, buying something used always has a chance to have leaking capacitors after a few years.This is less and less likely with newer harware since they use solid capacitors though.
