The customer returns the laptop to the
store for any number of reasons. At this time the store cannot sell it
"as new". It must be returned to the original manufacturer for
refurbishing - which means, "to make bright, or fresh again, renovate".
Most stores offer a 30 day money back guarantee and within that time
period is when most of the laptops are returned for a refund and sent
back to the manufacturer. Thus refurbished laptops are born. Refurbished
laptops are not new, but the closest thing to it because most are within
a couple of months old. Refurbished laptops will have better processing
speeds, more memory, newer Windows OS and the most up to date
technology. Next we have:
Used Laptops
Used laptops are generally a little
older, but are in perfectly working condition. Used laptops are perfect
for people wanting to use a mobile computer for only a couple of
applications, but still needs the mobility of a laptop. You can use
these to run software programs in areas outside of an office where a
desktop is not practical. Used laptops will have lower processor speeds,
older Windows such as 98 and 2000, less memory space, but will still
operate as a new one because they have been sent to a qualified computer
technician to be reconditioned to it's original specifications. Used
laptops are perfect for students doing homework, a professional that
only needs to operate a few programs, or for someone who just wants to
access the internet without the bulk of a desktop.
Then of course comes:
Cheap Laptops
Cheap laptops are basically a laptop that has minimal programs, lower
memory and older OS programs. Cheap laptops are only cheap in price and
not in quality. Most people looking for this kind of laptop is seeking a
basic mobile PC to run only a couple of applications, or software
programs. Cheap laptops are also used by those who only wish to surf the
net, access e-mail, or any number of functions that don't require
massive amounts of memory, or lighting speed processors. Cheap
refurbished laptops work as new they are just a couple of years older
than a refurbished laptop. If a student only needs to run one software
program, or if an office worker just needs to create spreadsheets
outside of the office cheap laptops are perfect. These are the choice of
many people because they are basic and "cheap".
Let's recap all this
information into a nutshell:
Refurbished Laptops-newer,
faster, able to operate more applications, latest technology
Used Laptops-a little older, basic Windows OS, slower
processor speeds, less memory
Cheap Laptops-older, mainly for schoolwork or operating
a few applications, lower memory
