Don't Buy Any Laptop From Computer Village Unless You Know This by Roland333: 11:57am On May 31, 2016 |
So, you saved or coughed up your hard earned money and will like to get your self a nice PC ![]() So Here are a few tips you have to know before heading to buying: 1.If the laptop has even the slightest sign of been used, Then it's probably used, see, it only takes about 10 minutes to turn a 3rd hand laptop into a new one body wise but it's speed will certainly drag and will have a life span of about 6 months before you start paying money on repairs for a supposedly new laptop 2.Don't, I mean don't ever buy a laptop with unknown brand name or grounded repair centers as you'll come to regret this at most 1 year later, Stick with the known Brands like Apple,HP,Dell,Samsung,Lenovo, Asus and be careful with even Asus as the internal architecture is always different and hard to find spare part 3. If you ever notice the seller is trying to HONESTLY convince you not to buy a particular system but another, My brother this is not the time to claim wise Solomon or choice, just add some money and buy the one he's referring you to buy, most times it's because the one you want is slightly faulty or low grade 4. Have a configuration in mind before going to the Market, If you are using it for Clerical office works then any Config not below 2GB RAM, 250 HDD and 1.70 GHz CPU will do but if it's for Graphics, Video editting, programing, 3D or any memory intensive work then have a mind on 8GB RAM, 500GB-1TB HDD and Core i3-7 will do. Finally always ask for a signed and or stamped receipt and keep it religiously. You can also check out website like Jumai or Konga or [url]Cubemaw.com[/url], I'll be glad to help if you have any other questions to ask here or mail me. |

Nice points. But 8GB RAM? C'mon 4GB should be ok not necessarily 8 |

2gb ram is OK, depending on what you want to use it for, my advice is always do a research about the laptop you want to buy before going to meet the seller, don't just go for whatever he gives you.

@Roland333; how about TOSHIBA ? |
Re: Don't Buy Any Laptop From Computer Village Unless You Know This by Roland333: 4:51am On Jun 01, 2016 |
@beautycrush24 Yeah 4GB would be "Just OK" for optimal performance try 8GB ![]() |

Emeka71 I totally forgot about TOSHIBA but from my Experience it a Nice laptop but maybe be careful with the AMD versions and Though you'll see spare parts, get ready to spend more. |

Roland333:Okay you mean getting the parts of TOSHIBA is more costly than getting the parts of DELL or hp? |
Re: Don't Buy Any Laptop From Computer Village Unless You Know This by Roland333: 11:56am On Jun 01, 2016 |
Yeah, Exclusive of generic parts like RAM,HDD and Screen. When you have a board or design specific fault you will certainly spend more. |
