Are there return policies for a used Laptop?

i bought this used laptop from this ..computer store and i forgot to ask if it may be returned. the laptop functions well for around $300 but i dont really like it. it’s only been about two weeks or less. they mentioned that there is a 1 year warranty on the computer from the store.

Well, if you don’t ask them, you won’t know…

Living in Belgium, we’ve got different laws around here, like two year warranties and two-weeks money back guarantees and stuff -although the latter doesn’t apply for second hand or refurbished goods. For those it’s the dealer’s perogative to choose whatever he/she sees fit.

Swapping goods outside of the two weeks money-back policy is also up to the goodwill of the shop…

Like I said, if you don’t ask…

Is buying a refurbished laptop from TigerDirect a bad idea?

I’m trying to buy a laptop and I am trying to decide between one from TigerDirect that has a 500gb hd and a better processor, plus a BluRay reader and 8gb of ram that’s less than 500 or one from HP that has 6gb of ram, 640gb of hd, and costs about 700, but the one from tigerdirect is a refurbished product. Is it a good idea to buy a refurbished laptop? Even from TigerDirect? Thanks.

I have a theory about refurbished products in general. Most likely less then a year old because they were returned under warranty, whatever was wrong with it was fixed, and hopefully the device was given a once over by quality control. With the exception of a few cosmetic issues might be better then new. Thing that does bother me though is that I see some refurbished device only come with a 90 warranty. If it has a year warranty like a new laptop would I say why not. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

what are the uses of notebook computers in business and management?

i want to know (what are the uses of notebook computers in business and management)

Most of my colleagues use notebooks instead of desktops, they allow us flexibility, we can pick them up and power on in a meeting, take presentations with us and carry notes etc with us.
We also have them as part of DR (DIsaster Recovery) , all my team for example have VPN access into the business and Cisco softphones (our desk phones are actually on our laptops), this way we can power up anywhere in the country and still work.

Notebooks allow desktop performance but with flexible options so you can work while travelling i.e train, can work in any location and offer security as your pc is not left in the office over night.
Our notebooks are encrypted and so if anyone stole them the information is useless.

Are there any laptop computers that don’t have mushy keyboards?

All the modern laptops I’ve encountered have keyboards that are so mushy that I end up typing a letter three times when I only intended to press it once. Are they all like that? Is there a brand of laptop that isn’t like that?

Lenovo ThinkPads have excellent keyboards and trackpads.
