• The card reader : Smartphones and digital cameras are used to take a large number of pictures in private households. A card reader allows for quick and easy reading of the SSD card, enabling the images to be saved to a computer or an external cloud storage service.

Buying a used computer - what you should pay attention to

Before buying a used PC, you should consider what your requirements are. If the computer is only intended for internet use or office applications, a mid-range PC is usually perfectly adequate. However, if you want to use your computer for professional image editing or gaming, the device will need to have more powerful components. A high-resolution LCD or TFT monitor is also essential.

Buying a used computer – the gaming PC

Anyone planning to do a lot of gaming on their computer should keep in mind that the latest games can only be played smoothly on a powerful, newer-generation PC. The requirements of a game can vary significantly depending on its genre and age. If you play a lot of first-person shooters, multi-core processors and ample RAM are essential.

All computers undergo extensive testing to ensure they are fully functional before being sold. They are also thoroughly cleaned inside and out, removing every last speck of dust.

Buying a used PC – the technical details

Regardless of whether you want to buy a new PC or a used one, the installed components always provide insights into the computer's performance and should definitely be taken into account when making a purchase decision.

a) The drive : Regardless of whether the used computer has a Blu-ray or DVD drive or double-layer DVDs installed, the only important thing when buying is that the drives work.

b) The sound card : Depending on the equipment and manufacturer, our PCs have either an internal or external sound card installed.

c) The processor : Broadly speaking, there are only two major processor manufacturers, Intel and AMD. When choosing the right processor, the number of cores and the clock speed play a crucial role. Depending on the used PC model you want to buy from us, the computer will have either a multi-core or dual-core processor.

d) The motherboard : The motherboard is the most important component of the computer, essentially its heart. When buying a used PC, you should check the motherboard's clock speed. Other important factors include the type of RAM installed, the number of memory modules the board can accommodate, and, most importantly, the processor socket used on the motherboard. Only processors compatible with the socket can be used.

e) RAM : While 3-4 GB of RAM is perfectly adequate for normal web browsing or office work, image editing, gaming, or web design require more powerful RAM. If you fall into this category, make sure that there is enough space on the motherboard to upgrade the computer's RAM when buying a used PC. Depending on the computer and manufacturer, our devices are equipped with either DDR2 or DDR3 RAM.

f) The interfaces : Depending on the model, the number of USB or FireWire interfaces can vary. The more external peripherals you need to connect, the more USB ports the PC needs.

g) Card reader : Anyone who enjoys photography should opt for a computer with a card reader. The advantage of a card reader is that photos can be transferred to the computer much faster and more easily.

h) The brand : In our online shop, we offer a huge selection of used PCs from a wide variety of manufacturers. Which one you prefer is entirely up to you. In fact, the brand is rather secondary, as the technical specifications are a more important purchasing criterion.

i) The operating system: As a dealer of used PCs, we offer you the option of buying your new computer with or without an operating system. If you already have a valid operating system license at home, we recommend buying a used PC without an operating system, as it is somewhat cheaper than one with one.

Buying a used PC – the buying criteria

• Depending on the manufacturer and model, there are only two options for the sound card : either the PC has an internal or an external sound card. If you opt for a used computer with an internal sound card, that's not a problem. The sound card can always be upgraded with an external one.
• When buying a used PC, you should definitely make sure that the computer or notebook has at least a Blu-ray or DVD drive . CD drives are now completely obsolete. Even better is a DVD burner, as it can not only burn CDs, Blu-rays, and DVDs, but also play them.
• Regardless of the manufacturer, our used computers are equipped with either an AMD or Intel processor . To understand their performance, you should look at the clock speed and the number of cores. The higher the number of cores, the more powerful the computer. The version is also significant when assessing performance. A Duo i3 is simply slower than a Duo i5.
• For a typical office computer, 3-4 GB of RAM has become the standard. If you plan to process graphics and images or play games, it's recommended that your computer has significantly more RAM. If necessary, the RAM can be upgraded, but only if there's space for additional memory modules on the motherboard. These memory modules are usually DDR2 or DDR3 RAM.
• Another important computer component to consider before buying is the motherboard . Check what type of RAM is installed. Is there room for additional memory modules? What is the motherboard's clock speed? Which processor socket is used on the board?
• The processor socket ultimately determines a PC's upgrade options. Only the more powerful processors that are compatible with the socket can be installed.
• When buying a new or used computer, you should definitely check the number of ports . The more external devices you want to use, the more free ports the PC should have.
• A card reader is highly recommended for computer users who are passionate about photography. Simply remove the card from the camera, insert it into the PC, and you can then read the images.
• While a traditional hard drive is perfectly adequate for everyday PC use, a gaming computer should have an SSD. To take advantage of the SSD's speed benefits compared to a traditional HDD, the operating system must be installed on the SSD.
• The operating system is another factor to consider when buying a computer. If you already have a current operating system and license at home, you can buy a used PC without one. If not, you'll likely have to buy a new computer with an operating system pre-installed. Which operating system you choose is purely a matter of personal preference, as every system, whether Linux or Windows, has its advantages and disadvantages.

Buying a used computer – specialist retailer vs. private sale

Of course, you can also buy used computers privately. As long as you know the seller, this is usually not a problem. However, anyone planning to buy a used PC through various online portals is likely to be in for a nasty surprise. The computers are often filthy, have scratches, and break down after only a short time, etc. If you want to play it safe, it's better to buy from a specialist retailer. Not only do you usually have a 14-day return policy (or, in our case, a four-week one), but you also receive a two-year warranty. Both of these advantages, in addition to the lower price of a used computer, definitely pay off.
