7 Must-Have Features of Cheap Used Laptops
You can get great deals on cheap used laptops on Ebay. But make sure the laptop you buy has the features you need.
Otherwise, no matter how little you pay for a cheap used laptop - you’ll be disappointed.
Here Are 7 Minimum Features of the Best Cheap Used Laptops
1. What size processor do you need?
Experts agree a Core 2 Duo is essential
2. How much memory do you need?
At least 1 GB. But get as much RAM as you can afford.
3. What about hard drive size?
Don’t worry about this unless you need huge amounts of storage. Most used cheap laptops come with 80 GB hard drives, which will hold thousands of MP3s and photographs.
4. Do you need an extended warranty?
Used cheap laptops come with a 1 year limited warranty. Any longer is a waste of money.
5. Do you need a video card?
If you’re buying a used cheap laptop to play a lot of games - then yes, you need a video card. But it won’t be cheap.
Integrated video is standard and included in the price of cheap laptops
6. What type of internet connection options do you need?
Used cheap laptops come with built-in wireless networking, which lets you connect to a Wi-Fi network.
Most laptops do not include a modem to connect to dial up. Ethernet connectors for broadband are standard, but you should verify this before buying.
7. What type of optical drive is best?
Used cheap laptops come with a combination DVD-ROM/CD burner drive. You’ll be able to load or reload software and back up your work. You can use the drive to listen to music CDs or watch DVD movies.
A DVD burner will give you about six times greater storage capacity per disk than a CD burner. Laptops no longer have floppy drives.
