If you have been searching the web for very long looking for a
laptop you have seen these three phrases. Do they have different
meanings? Yes they do as we will point out some reasons laptops
are labeled differently. Let’s begin by examining each phrase
followed with a short definition:
Refurbished Laptops
Refurbished laptops are PCs that have been bought new by a
consumer and has been used between 1 day and 3 months(depending
on the store). 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:
Refurbis
hed 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
