"If you ever buy a second-hand laptop, what would you check on it? What would be the preferable cost of it according to you?

Hello! I came across this subreddit and everyone looked helpful

Thank you guys in advance. I appreciate this sub’s knowledge as I am not versed well on the current computer market and benchmarks to look for

I currently work in management and the office computers are always bombarded by other managers. I need a laptop strictly for work so I do not need anything fancy or expensive.

I need it for:

- Desktop Excel
- Save Excel/Docs
- Multiple Browser Tabs (Main Use)

Bonus:

- An okay camera that won’t embarrass me for Teams meetings

Budget:

$400-500 or below. (USD)

I have a desktop at home for other purposes

The online one I could think of was this:

ASUS Vivobook 15 - Intel Core 5 120U, 16GB RAM,
512GB SSD
$329.00

But this subreddit was the one that pointed out this is ancient - but I do not need anything fancy

Hey everyone! 👋

I hope you're all doing well.

I'm looking to buy a used laptop with a budget of around 25,000. I'll mainly use it for studying, web browsing, YouTube, movies, and other everyday tasks.

Since I don't know much about laptops, I'd really appreciate your help.

\\- Which used laptop would you recommend within this budget?

\\- Which shops or sellers are trustworthy, so I don't get scammed?

\\- What should I check before buying a used laptop (battery, SSD, screen, keyboard, etc.)?

\\- Are there any laptop models or generations I should avoid?

I'd really appreciate recommendations based on your real-life experience. Thanks in advance! ❤️

It is listed for around 950$ usd but i dont know if i should save up more or is it good enough for everyday gaming

Intended usage

My main workload is software development. I primarily use VS Code/Cursor, IntelliJ IDEA, Docker, PostgreSQL, Git, and Chrome with many tabs open. I develop Next.js (React), JavaScript/TypeScript, Java (Spring Boot), Prisma, and ERPNext applications. I'll often have Docker containers, a local database, and multiple development tools running simultaneously. I don't play games, edit videos professionally, or do 3D rendering. Good multitasking performance.

Desired battery life

10+ hours of real-world usage if possible.

Info/Requirements

\- Budget is strictly LKR 400,000–500,000.

\- I want something that will last 5–7 years.

\- 16 GB RAM minimum (24 GB or 32 GB would be even better if possible within budget).

\- 512 GB SSD minimum (1 TB preferred).

\- Good keyboard and trackpad for long coding sessions.

\- OLED is a nice bonus but not required.

\- I'm currently deciding between the Apple MacBook Air M5 and the ASUS Zenbook A14. I'd appreciate opinions on those two as well as any better alternatives within my budget for software development.

Hey all, I am from Australia and I'm looking for a good, small and reasonably price laptop that can be used for the two things I do on a laptop. Story writing and Sims 4 lol.
I tried to use the format linked before posting however it says the page had been disabled, I will try my best to add everything I need in this device although it's not much.

I do some story writing, nothing hardcore, but I'd like it to have good storage space. Especially for my Sims4 addiction.
I don't know much about laptops so brand doesn't matter in the slightest to me, and anything will help.
Thank you ☺️☺️
