Common Questions

What should I check first when buying a used laptop? expand_more
Start with the display — dead pixels and backlight issues are the most common defects. Then check the keyboard and trackpad, since input failures are frequent on older machines. Battery health and charging are next most important, as battery replacements can be costly. Save network tests for last since Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues are usually fixable with cheap adapters.
What battery health percentage is acceptable on a used laptop? expand_more
Above 80% is very good. 60-80% is acceptable if the price reflects it. Below 60% means the battery will drain quickly and may need replacement soon. Most laptop batteries last 300-500 charge cycles before noticeable degradation.
Are dead pixels a deal-breaker? expand_more
A single dead pixel in a corner is often negotiable. A cluster of dead pixels in the center of the screen is a serious defect that will be distracting. Three or more dead pixels is generally considered a defect even by manufacturer standards.
How can I tell if a used laptop was dropped? expand_more
Look for hairline cracks near the hinge, uneven gaps between the screen bezel and display, chips on the corners, and discolored or dented edges. Test the hinge movement — they should move smoothly without grinding or excessive looseness.
Should I buy a used laptop without testing it in person? expand_more
It is always risky. If you must buy sight unseen, ask the seller to run each test and send you photos or a video of the results. A seller who refuses diagnostics is a red flag.
