The terms "second hand","second user" and "used computers" mean what they say - you are not the first owner of these machines. They are only a fraction of their cost that they were only a year or two when they were sold on the market. Used computers are an excellent way to get a great PC at a reasonable price. Notice I didn't say top spec computer. Let's be realistic, you are not going to get a top-spec computer at a used price, OK. However, obtaining an ideal spec machine at a cost-efficient price is possible.
Something a first time buyer may want to consider is purchasing used Macintosh computers.
Reputable online computer dealers offer used Macintosh computers that have been repaired, cleaned, and inspected by experienced certified technicians. They are guaranteed to work and come with a 30 day money back guarantee. Many branded second-hand computers can come with a 3, 6 or even 12-month warranty, so check around.
A common misunderstanding by many people is that they think a used computer will take too much effort to maintain. That's definitely not the case. Many mechnical parts, including the keyboard and mouse, have usually been replaced with either new or refurbished ones. When examining costs over a long period, it's often more lucrative to replace used computers instead of buying new PCs. Don't forget this.
Prices on used computers are extremely tempting and as I said before, are widely available online. The reason why so many are available is that many businesses lease a computer over say a year or two before upgrading to the latest available. So these barely used computers become available. If one has to be a careful spender and plans to follow his /her budget then this situation is quite good, rather great for him/her.
The difficulty in finding stores which sell used Macintosh computers or second hand computers is due to the fact that they often don't do repair work, nor offer decent warranties, which is why I don't recommend them. In the same vein, I wouldn't bother with personal ads, either - there's no chance of a guarantee there. Yes, I have been steering you to online dealers for that reason. They have a system in place to deal with the inspection, repair and cleaning of used computers as well as being able to offer you a warranty.
What will you do if you will not be given a chance to have a guarantee. When purchasing anything online, be sure to review exactly what you are buying. Be sure to read the contract to determine if a monitor and Windows are included. Make sure that you check because sometimes that isn't the case.
