If you’ve been looking out for affordable laptop computers, you might have run across the terms “refurbished” or “used” laptop computers. It’s important to know the difference between the two terms when you buy laptop computers on a budget.
One of the differences between a used and refurbished laptop is the price. The former are usually cheaper because it’s just that – used and with no repairs carried out on it. On the other hand, refurbished laptop computers cost slightly more but tend to come with a warranty, unlike most used laptops. Hardware and software problems are virtually nonexistent with such laptops, as the factory/manufacturer restoration has taken care of it.
Refurbishment makes a lot of sense when you consider the money you save, as opposed to the amount spent buying a brand new laptop. When you buy laptop computers that have been restored, it’s like getting something practically brand new but at a much lower price. Missing keys on the keyboard would have been replaced and bug-free software is loaded and ready for use. Compare this to a used laptop, on which you might very well have to carry out extensive repairs, and a new laptop, which costs more but may not come bundled with a complete operating system, and it makes sense to get a refurbished unit.
When it comes to warranties, manufacturers naturally provide support for new laptop computers. It’s also possible for refurbished laptop computers to come with warranties of their own provided they’re restored by authorized parties. Thus, you would also receive technical support for a refurbished laptop but pay a comparatively lower price to own one. Buying a used laptop can be a risky affair if the seller is less than scrupulous or unhelpful when technical issues arise.
What you see is what you get with a refurbished one. The specifications you receive are the same as that described on the box. With a used laptop though, it can be a bit of a hit-and-miss affair. Unless you have the chance to test it before buying it, you’ll never be absolutely certain you’re getting what you paid for. Buying a used laptop is considered a last resort, such as where a computer is needed for immediate use.
We Offer used and refurbished computers, laptops, LCD projectors, printers and used monitors.
We sell a wide range of used computer monitors
All computers are connected with some type of display. In most cases this is a monitor.
There are two different types of monitor.CRT (Cathode Ray Tube): the most common type of screen. This is the traditional picture tube, a big glass bottle. This is just like a television.LCD (Liquid Crystal Display): flat and soft displays. The prices of these screens range higher than CRT’s.
The principles behind these screen types are different, but the screen image design is still based on the same concepts.
Pixels: The screen image is made of pixels (tiny dots), which are arranged in rows across the screen. Each pixel consists of three colours: red, green, and blue (RGB).
Dot pitch: This is a measurement of how close together the phosphor dots are on the screen. The finer the dot pitch, the better image quality you will have; look for the smaller number. Most monitors today have a 0.28mm dot pitch. Some have a 0.25mm dot pitch.
Refresh Rate: The screen image is refreshed many times per second. Refresh rates are measured in Hertz (HZ), which means times per second. The higher the refresh rate, the screen image appears more steady.
Colour Depth: Each pixel can display a number of different colours. The number of colours which can be displayed is called the colour depth.
Video RAM (VRAM): All video cards have some memory. How much depends on the desired colour depth for the monitor. The more VRAM a video card has, the more the amount of colours can be displayed.
Resolution: The greater the number of pixels in the screen, the better the resolution. The greater the resolution, the sharper the image will be.

If you haven’t shopped for laptop computers lately, you probably don’t know what you’re missing. Gone are the days when you had to give up ease of use and functionality in order to get the convenience and portability of a laptop computer. These days, laptops are powerful, well-built, and packed full of all the features that you expect in a modern computer. And the best thing is: you can get it all at a price that comes close to rivaling a desktop system.
Traditionally, laptop computers used underperforming screens that were easily damaged, bad at reproducing color, slow to update, and driven by graphics cards that would make your grandmother snicker in derision. However, modern laptop computers feature beautiful, full-color displays and mid-range graphics cards that not only have the power to drive graphics-intensive games, but are designed with power-saving features which don’t gobble battery juice like it’s going out of style. Many modern portable computers come standard with widescreen displays that would have been the envy of the owners of top-notch desktop systems in years past.
The keyboards offered by manufacturers of laptop computers are no longer the chicklet-style horrors that were forced upon us back in the day. Now, it’s perfectly realistic to engage in typing-intensive tasks such as word processing, data entry, or frantic, late-night instant messaging, all from the comfort and convenience of your portable system. If size is not your number one concern, you can find laptops with full-sized keyboards and a number pad. With ergonomics as important as functionality, the “feel” of modern keyboards are sure to please.
The first truly portable computers had no integrated mouse or equivalent pointing device. Then, manufacturers developed miniature, thumb-operated joysticks that were supposed to take the place of a full-sized mouse. Needless to say, those sorts of devices were quickly relegated to hardware history. Today’s laptops have well-built, integrated touchpads that work like a charm. Many people grow so accustomed to using a touch-pad that they dispense with a mouse altogether. Now that’s progress!
Obviously, there’s only so much that can be packed inside a portable case. When you consider that modern laptop computers feature a beefy graphics card, an optical drive, decent RAM capacity, a wireless card, and more, it’s no wonder that most people occasionally like to supplement their laptop with external peripherals. To make this easy, today’s laptop computers bristle with just about every connector under the sun. If you need additional features, it’s a simple matter to plug in extra hardware.
If you have been wondering whether a laptop computer is suitable for your needs, give some of today’s models a try. Today’s laptop computers rival their desktop counterparts in price and performance. So, you may find that they’re just what you’ve been waiting for. The age of the laptop is here, don’t be left behind.
