I'm in the process of buying a laptop for my cousin (for school), do you have to pay attention to anything? So now not the specs or something I already know my way around but something internal or something. That no syskey is installed or something xD (exaggeration)
Make sure that the laptop doesn't have Windows 10 S or if you want to buy a MacBook, wait until December, Apple is bringing out a MacBook Air with its own processor, etc. For 840 euro
Thanks for the answer, he didn't it is a Lenovo with Win 10Pro for 400 euro.
A laptop with Windows 10 Pro for 400 euro?
Which processor of which generation is installed and when is the laptop from?
First of all, you should pay attention to the price-performance ratio for the first time!
With laptops this is also very important for what you want to use them for. Whether for gaming or office!
Better laptops are needed for both!
Macbooks are of course the best, as the price is usually very expensive.
But if you want to have an "all-rounder" laptop, just enter "Best Value Laptops 2020" on Google!
You will surely find a very good laptop there.
Thanks for the answer! I've already found a model that is good, the only thing is that it is used and I don't want to give anything to my cousin that has spyware or something on it. You can change a lot in regedit or generally in the system. : /
It should be at least 8GB Ram. This is much better with a 64 bit system.
Modern SSD then only with PCI 3.0 or 4.0 connection. They are up to 5 times faster than SATA SSD.
I would prefer Windows 10 Pro. Less data theft by MS and more network capability. Especially in domains.
17 "is of course better than 15.6", but the small one would be enough.
I wouldn't take a DELL or an Acer. I've only had bad experiences with it in the last 15 years.
Lenovo is reasonably priced. But you can also buy Asus, HP, Toshiba.
The battery life is also important. Although the manufacturers often exaggerate their information, if you e.g. There's no additional graphics card and the one used in the processor lasts longer. The heat development is also significantly lower and the fan does not always have to run.
However, with 40 years of experience I can say: The super manufacturer no longer exists. Almost all manufacturers have margins that are faulty. Then you just have bad luck with the notebook. These can be flaws in the mainboard, faulty soldering of the graphics chips or simply predetermined breaking points in the display joints.
I have around 50 such defective notebooks lying around here to be cannibalized.
A repair is often not worthwhile because the mainboards are usually too expensive.
Mhhh… I should go to the recycling center again.
That's right… First of all, you should pay with PayPal, as they have the refund.
The second thing you should do when you receive the laptop is to reset it.
If there was anything unwanted on it, it should normally be gone!
Besides, I don't think a brewery shop will do something like that, so provided you don't go shopping at any Turkish bazaar!
Oke thank you!
No problem, Mr. Brenner!
Thank you for your answer! I will just completely reset the laptop ^^
If the key is available or anchored in the BIOS, simply reinstall it.
A fresh system is always safest.
Most Lenovo's keys are anchored in the BIOS. You install the Windows and Microsoft then compares the installation with a hash code from the manufacturer. If everything is ok, Windows will be activated.
Great thank you!
Sounds good for the price. But it could be that this notebook doesn't have a DVD drive. But something like that costs 20 euro as an external.
I can hardly imagine the 14 "on an I7 Lenovo notebook. Are you sure it is not 15.6"? Because no one has bought 14 "for years. You get really bad eyes from that. You can hardly see anything at the resolution.
