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.

This is so good, you went briefly over this topic but gave ALL the essential info. Thank you Edit: Used the tools given in video and bought myself a used thinkpad for 40 percent of a new one, it was started up only 622, basically new and the writes were under 200 gigs) it was used as a backup laptop.
I noticed that "how to check the screen" wasn't mentioned in this video - is it a step that needs no consideration? Thanks for all the tips anyway, very helpful

If u are afraid then all u need is, after buying pay someone to format the drive and re install a clean windows Operating system
@@DrTechNNo thank you!

What do you mean 10 tera byte range?
thanks great information but the music is annoying.
Thanks for the tips
Thank you :)
So what if i have 202 battery cycles
That's fine
In the third point.. If there's no cycle count mentioned then?
Designed capacity vs actual capacity wil tell you percent battery wear and tear.
More than 10pc less is not good
@@DrTechNNo thank you ☺
Good information bro
Thanks
Informative
Excellent
If I don’t carry any pen drive downloaded programs, can I still use the other steps? And will the laptop still be okay or is the programs necessary?

F5 shouldn't be a major concern
