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
