The laptop industry is huge. With today's technology allowing us to become more and more mobile, laptop computers are becoming more popular than ever. Everyday, we hear about exciting new mobile computing technologies to make the on the go working experience even better.
Of course, these technologies often come with high price tags. For all but the most wealthy mobile computing enthusiasts, its really impossible to keep up with the furious pace of technological development. That doesn't stop people from trying, though. In fact, the industry depends on behavior like this to drive sales.
However, there is a secret that the industry doesn't want you to know. A secret that could cost them some money if people were to really understand it. A secret that could save you hundreds or thousands of dollars. What is this secret?
Most people don't need any of this new laptop technology.
That's it. Think about what most users (and I'm including myself in this group) spend most of their time doing on their computers. Checking e-mail, browsing the web, creating documents. Sure, I have to crunch the occasional numerical simulation here and there, but 99% of the time, what I do on my computer could easily be accomplished by a computer many years old.
By realizing this, you can see that buying a used laptop can really offer and excellent deal. Sure, you don't get a warranty. Yeah, the technology is a little older. But, the savings is really, really huge. You can get a machine that will fulfill all of your needs at the fraction of the cost of a new one.
Many do worry about the longevity of these used machines, and that is a valid concern. However, if you buy a high quality laptop, you're not likely to run into many issues. of course, if you buy a low quality machine, your chances aren't going to be good. But this would be the same if you had a new machine. Buy a quality used machine, and you'll be set.
I hope this has helped you see that you don't need to be buying the latest and greatest laptops to achieve productivity. If you can stay away from bloated operating systems, and aren't doing any high performance computing, you should really think about making your next laptop a used model. You'll be glad you did, I'm sure.
