Buying Notebooks Under $500
Friday, April 24th, 2009Buying refurbished notebooks is a much cheaper and more effective way to buy notebooks. What is a refurbished notebook anyway? Basically, someone did not like the color of the notebook when they removed the computer from the box, it had a scratch, they thought the CD tray was broke (but was working fine), and on and on.
Its sad fact that most of the worlds computer distributors are intent on selling high priced notebooks ranging from $700 to $1,400 on average. These large distributors do not understand the world has become more thrift conscious.
Refurbished notebooks can sell for 25% to 50% lower than when the computer was originally shipped out. A great bargain! And these notebooks work very well.
Why spend an extra 500 to 1,000 dollars for the same notebook, when a refurbished computer will work just as well?
Refurbished notebooks can break just like a standard notebook from the same manufacture, but at least youre getting the computer at a 25% to 50% discount. Its like buying a foreclosed home at steep discount (nearly brand new).
Notebooks can sell for less than 500 dollars if you know where to look. For the majority of internet users worldwide, buying a notebook or netbook under 500 dollars will comply with their over-all daily needs”just fine.
Refurbished notebooks come with a standard 90 day parts and labor warranty and can be extended for a year for an additional 100 dollars.
Remember not to open the computer to change any hardware or install a new operating system, or you will void the warranty. This applies to any computer you purchase.
I have personally cannot tell the difference from a refurbished notebook (in work mode) versus a much more expensive notebook (in work mode), which was twice as expensive. I been computing since 1979, and what really counts is how the notebook performs in actual work mode; versus understanding the differences in RAM, hard drive space, processor speed, or the operating system. Buy refurbished, you will not regret it.
