Buying a Refurbished Laptop

By Allyson Westcot


Rugged systems are nearly always higher in price than standard laptops. They may not be in everybody's budget, however. Refurbished Toughbooks might be a good option for many folks as an alternative.

When you're ready to get a refurbished portable computer, you'll be wanting to decide if you need a business-rugged, semi-rugged or fully-rugged model. One simple way to spot the difference is to have a look at Panasonic's line of Toughbooks. These are simply split up into categories so you can see the differences. Business-rugged versions are good for workers like insurance adjusters, field sales agents and any type of mobile employees who use PCs on the run. Semi-rugged models offer extra protections for those who put their PCs thru a little bit more strain.

Fully-rugged systems are created for people in all kinds of rough conditions, and may be immune to all types of heat, cold, weather and shock conditions. You may also opt for rugged ultra-mobile PCs like tablet systems and handhelds. Decide which is best for you before looking at all the refurbished models so you are not enticed by a less costly model that can't offer all the required features.

Do you need a refurbished portable that comes with a fingerprint scanner for security, or do you need one with mobile broadband and a GPS system? Will you need to purchase accessories separately, or does it come with all that you need? Be certain that all of your mobile computing needs will be met by the laptop computer, or you might end up with buyer's remorse regardless of the discount you snagged.

The Net has made purchasing refurbished goods increasingly simple. You're no longer restricted to whatever an area store has in stock. Use this technology cleverly by completely researching the refurbished rugged system you have an interest in. Compare its features to the features of other laptops, but do not forget to compare the price, too.
