  • Laptop Grading/Condition

    Most of our laptops are used/refurbished and the condition of these laptops can vary substantially when we receive them. Unlike many refurbished laptop retailers we spend a lot of time and money refurbishing the laptops ourselves to improve their appearance and condition. These are examples of the work we do to improve the quality of our laptops:

    • replace heavily scratched and dented lids, palm rests (keyboard surround) and bases with new or resprayed parts
    • replace PCMCIA units with broken buttons
    • replace broken catches and switches
    • replace or cover worn keyboard caps
    • replace batteries which do not hold at at least one hour's charge (usually with new batteries)

    We make great efforts to describe the condition of our laptops accurately so you know exactly what to expect and are not disappointed. If we have inaccurately described any of our laptops we will be happy to exchange it for a different laptop. We want you to be satisfied with your purchase. Before you buy from any other supplier check their descriptions and see it they are as detailed (and honest) as ours!


  • Grade A

    A laptop with this grading will be in very good condition for it's age but more specifically the various components will be as described below:

    Screen

    No scratches, chips or scuff marks on glass. It has no dead pixels and the picture does not have 'screen burn'. The screen has the correct level of contrast and brightness consistent with its age. It does not have an unusually large number of light or dark patches which affect the picture quality.

    Case

    There are no cracks in the outer case, screen, keyboard or drive surrounds (apart from some minor hairline cracks which are barely noticeable). All the coating on the case eg. rubber, silver is present apart from very minor scratches. There are no security badges or remnants of security badges on the outer casing, keyboard or screen surround.

    There may be scuff marks or minor scratches on the outer casing which is normal for a used/refurbished laptop. There may be small dents on the lid.

    Keyboard

    This does not have excessive wear, for example, letters which are heavily worn and can hardly be recognised. It is normal for there to be some signs of wear on the keys eg. a "shiny surface".

    Battery

    The battery charges properly and holds at least 1 hour's charge during normal operation eg. typing or surfing the net NOT playing DVDs/CDs (unless stated otherwise in Condition section). The battery will hold a full charge overnight.

  • Grade B

    A laptop with this grading will be in good condition for it's age but more specifically there will some minor blemishes which prevent us from describing it as a Grade A. These are usually minor marks on the screen (which do not affect visibility) or the battery lasts for less than one hour on full charge.

    A full description of the blemishes will be shown in the condition section. Remember we are honest about the condition (and if anything are over fussy to maintain customer satisfaction). Can you be sure that other suppliers have the same ethos?
  • Grade C

    A laptop with this grading will be in poor condition for it's age but more specifically there will some major blemishes. These are usually heavy marks on the screen or the case is in very poor condition. It is rare for us to sell these laptops as we either repair them to improve their appearance or do not buy them in the first place.

    A full description of the blemishes will be shown in the condition section. Remember we are honest about the condition (and if anything are over fussy to maintain customer satisfaction). Can you be sure that other suppliers have the same ethos?
  • As New

    These laptops are normally more recent models which have been returned soon after sale for unknown reasons (for example, customer changed their mind or there was a fault which has subsequently been repaired).

    There may be very minor blemishes which will be described in the condition section.
  • The following checks are performed on every laptop before sale (where applicable)

    01. Check specification for processor speed, size of memory and hard disk, size of screen, drives, modem etc.
    02. Check laptop for physical damage to case, keyboard, screen, drives etc.
    03. Check laptop for missing items eg, hinge covers, screw covers, fascias, flaps, keys etc.
    04. Check laptop powers on consistently and reliably.
    05. Check for CMOS battery problems eg. Date incorrect, setup reset etc.
    06. Check for impact of any passwords (BIOS and hard disk)
    07. Check for any POST error messages eg. Faulty fan etc.
    08. Check hard disk drive for read/write errors and bad sectors.
    09. Check 10/100 network port.
    10. Check language of keyboard and layout is UK/US.
    11. Check keyboard functions correctly
    12. Check all internal speakers work correctly
    13. Check that volume buttons/wheel functions correctly
    14. Check that wireless modem connects to router and any wireless switch is on
    15. Check general quality of screen eg. Consistency of colour/contrast, appearance of any patches, brightness
    16. Check screen connections to ensure that the screen does not flicker/blank
    17. Check optical drive ejects & reads correctly by installing an extensive image file.
    18. Check DVD drive (by playing DVDs and checking for quality of video and audio output)
    19. Check USB ports
    20. Check that the laptop charges batteries correctly
    21. Check that the laptop is set to boot from optical drive or can be changed easily
    22. Check that windows can be installed correctly with all drivers
    23. Check that the battery holds at least 1 hours charge under normal operation (not playing CDs/DVDs).
