Be Cautious of Renovated Laptops - Computers - Laptops

In the store, you can see several of laptops with different prices. Even the same model, there is a big price gap. What's the problem? Do you hear about renovated laptops? Here we will have a look of these laptops.

It's the IBM brand that the most common laptop renovates in the present market. These original notebooks recalled by IBM and then sell again in the market after the renovation, so the product quality and appearance are very close to the pretty new laptop. As the original repair machines are generally only one year warranty, but the price is much cheaper than a brand new laptop. In fact, for such a factory refurbished laptop, laptop manufacturers have labeled these laptops in order to avoid confusing with the brand new laptops. As long as we pay attention to the following areas, we can easily identify the true knowledge of their hats.

First of all we have to pay attention to the bottom of the notebook. Is there a label with "This product is refurbished and contains used parts". On the brand new laptop, there is not such a little label. This is a very important mark to identify whether this is an original IBM laptop. However, some cunning businessmen would probably tear the label, but the label even if tore down, it will leave some traces. So if we select the notebook and found similar traces of the bottom, we can completely refuse to accept this laptop, because the new laptop is not likely to leave such traces.Secondly, the instruction book will reveal the truth. If you are careful enough, you can find the same trace. In the renovated computer instruction, there is a notice that it contains used parts and warranty period of 1 year. There is no such explanation on the cover of the original laptop. Also on the package box, there is the same notice.

So when we select the notebook, do not forget to check these places. If found such labels, it must be renovated laptop. You can refuse to accept it. My friend is really cautious of this information. His IBM ThinkPad R60 9446 (40Y6797 Laptop Battery) has changed for three times because of this worriness. If prefer to the price, you can buy it.
