In this video you can know how to safely buy a used laptop. A last years premium model may be better than this years midrange laptop in almost all departments and mostly in battery life matters.
The premium laptops are always built to a higher standard than a mid range device even for the same specs. Anyone who has used a premium laptop will vouch for the saying
"SPECS ARE NOT ALL THAT MATTER"
Share with anyone who is apprehensive in buying a used laptop and be aware before getting cheated.

This guy really knows what he is talking about. Especially all the portable diagnostic tools he referenced. I use them all myself and they will tell you all the diagnostic and spec information you need to know if you are buying a used laptop, or just want to know more about the one you have. Absolute respect to you my friend.....peace.
Thank you 😁

I know nothing of laptops, or computers. Is there a chance that someone will install something that can somehow steal your credit card info, or personal information when your purchasing a used laptop? I found one for a good price and just want to see how I can actually check for something of that nature.
@@taylortyler9995 Hi T, when buying a used laptop make sure it has been refurbished/back to factory settings. The only way your info could be stolen is by malware/viruses. Always install a good antivirus programme asap. Bitdefender is really good....or malwarebytes. Don't fall for the free ones as they are rubbish and wont keep your info safe. Never open an email attachment from someone you dont know as that is a really common way that malicious stuff gets into your computer. Lastly, use different passwords for everything and make them at least 16 characters long and as random as poss. Hope that helps...peace to ya.
They're tech support.

This was the best video I found on the subject. So many other videos were just so basic & not helpful. I just picked up an awesome used laptop that was pristine. I ran all these tests- no issues detected. The only thing I couldn't check was the HDMI output, but it was fine when I checked it later.
Thank you so much
