    This guy really knows what he is talking about. Especially all the portable diagnostic tools he referenced. I use them all myself and they will tell you all the diagnostic and spec information you need to know if you are buying a used laptop, or just want to know more about the one you have. Absolute respect to you my friend.....peace.

      I know nothing of laptops, or computers. Is there a chance that someone will install something that can somehow steal your credit card info, or personal information when your purchasing a used laptop? I found one for a good price and just want to see how I can actually check for something of that nature.

      @@taylortyler999 Hi T, when buying a used laptop make sure it has been refurbished/back to factory settings. The only way your info could be stolen is by malware/viruses. Always install a good antivirus programme asap. Bitdefender is really good....or malwarebytes. Don't fall for the free ones as they are rubbish and wont keep your info safe. Never open an email attachment from someone you dont know as that is a really common way that malicious stuff gets into your computer. Lastly, use different passwords for everything and make them at least 16 characters long and as random as poss. Hope that helps...peace to ya.

    This was the best video I found on the subject. So many other videos were just so basic & not helpful. I just picked up an awesome used laptop that was pristine. I ran all these tests- no issues detected. The only thing I couldn't check was the HDMI output, but it was fine when I checked it later.
