Pre-owned devices

A working laptop beats an unaffordable one

A brand new entry-level laptop costs between R6,000 and R12,000. A R2,500 pre-owned laptop that runs reliably will take you further than a R10,000 machine you cannot buy without going into debt.

  • Business-grade stock from Lenovo, Dell and HP.
  • Tested, cleaned and ready to work from day one.
  • Typically 50 to 70 percent less than the same device new.
  • Inspect it and test it before you hand over anything.

What to check before you pay

Not all pre-owned laptops are equal. These are the things that matter most.

Battery health

A battery that dies in forty minutes is not a working tool. Ask how long it lasts on a full charge, then test it yourself.

Screen condition

Check for dead pixels, cracks and backlight bleed. The screen is the one component that is expensive to replace.

Keyboard and trackpad

Press every key and use the trackpad. Both should respond cleanly, without sticking or skipping.

RAM and storage

8GB of RAM is the minimum for comfortable multitasking. A 256GB SSD feels almost as fast as a new machine.

Ports and charger

Test the USB, HDMI and headphone ports, and never buy without the original charger.

Never buy a laptop you cannot switch on and use before paying.

What to avoid

Cracked screens sold as is, where the repair often costs more than the saving. Devices with no original charger. Anything older than seven years. And anything sold without the chance to test it first.

Start now, upgrade later

At R2,500 you can start immediately, earn from it, and upgrade when the income justifies it.

Better for the planet

Extending the life of a device that already exists beats manufacturing a new one.
