I bought a refurbished gaming laptop from Back Market...
to find out if it is worth it...
Also, Backmarket refurbished computer, backmarket refurbished gaming pc.
This is a refurbished laptop from backmarket.
Refurbished gaming computer from backmarket.
I've decided to buy from both backmarket - the refurbished marketplace, and honor.
The asus tuf or asus tufbook their budget gaming laptop range and also the honor magicbook 15 a mid range notebook which uses an amd ryzen cpu.
The gaming laptop contains an nvidia graphics card the nvidia gtx 1660, how does the 1660 perform in 2023?
I also bought a new notebook
Also thanks again to the incredibly talented @paoloargento he made some of the wonderful music I used. insta: / paoloargento_

Great content man ! keep up the awesome videos !

[@whizzard]

Thanks man, really appreciate it! Will do! 🙏

[@skyeric875]

I'm loving the back market series

[@whizzard]

Great! I think they're videos that need to be made, cause new tech is very expensive, but often far better than midrange stuff even a year or two on...so natuawpeople want to know about refurb sellers...

[@MinecraftCheating]

@@whizzard im liking this series too. although i wouldnt trust userbenchmark, they tend to have unfair tests and reviews, especially amd processors.

[@TheMichaelparis]

They dont even bother to remove the dust that is crazy.

[@whizzard]

No, I think that was me tbh...

[@mcmurdostation7134]

Great video I have already ordered an old thinkcentre from 2019 for a retro console. Next gaming pc or notebook I will order also there.

[@whizzard]

Thanks, appreciate it! Oh, an old laptop as a retro console is a good idea...

[@deihthang70]

WHAT?? IVE BEEN WATCHING MOST OF YOUR VIDEOS AND DIDNT EVEN CARE TO CHECK HOW MANY SUBS OR VIEWS U GOT. BUT WHEN I BEFORE I CHECKED, I THOUGHT U HAD LIKE A MILLION SUBS WHAT????

[@whizzard]

Wow thanks man, you're too kind! Hopefully soon 🤣

[@dogeboi_125]

I bought a samsung s21 for 232 pounds back market fee included excellent condition it is great works great and now i will order all my phones from backmarket

[@whizzard]

Hey man, great to hear! I'm glad you had a good experience. Thanks for sharing!

[@kkentaii]

I would love for you to do cex samsung phones vs backmarket

[@whizzard]

Never bought from them, but definitely an idea at some point... thanks for watching btw. 🙏

[@Theatsign1]

Back Market = Black Market

[@whizzard]

🤣

[@Attapoll_life]

Do you have a link to this? It’s a really solid deal

[@whizzard]

Sorry, not really, many items on backmarket don't have more stock... It just depends what the refurbished happen to have at any one point... This wasn't the only good value one I've seen, but decent gaming laptop deals are a little sparse on the UK version of backmarket, I think you'll probably have more luck if you're in the US from what I've observed...

[@Attapoll_life]

@@whizzard thank you! and yea I am currently in the US. Do you have any laptop suggestions for gaming in a similar budget to yours but in the US market?

[@whizzard]

I don't really know the market well enough, but as a general rule I'd tend not to go for anything more than about 3 to 4 years old in the refurbished world, cause of battery degradation (which is never much good on gaming laptops, at the best of times) and probably you want the gtx 1660 at the very least if you're gaming. If not you've got many more options... Including older refurbished macbooks, that said, they seem to be particularly bad value even compared to other refurbished apple products...

[@x7amo490]

this channel is criminally underrated

[@whizzard]

Thanks, appreciate it! 🙏

[@stephenhall3515]

You are not really comparing like with like here except in terms of cost at a particular time.
While the Honor slim mid price will play some games, like most of the type and spec, it is not really designed with gamers in mind.
The Honor is not able to be maintained by amateurs and cannot be upgraded. In contrast, ASUS machines retain access and aspects can be upgraded, as well as tweaked and optimized.
Usually ASUS machines have quite good speakers but when a product is designated as a 'gaming computer' it is assumed that headphones or decent speakers will be used.
In the same way, it is assumed that players will use a mouse or some other attached control device, making a "good" touch pad into a courtesy rather than a necessity. There is, outside Apple, no such thing as a good touch pad anyway and the things are seldom used in any professional context.
The sheer power of gaming machines of some antiquity can be useful in actual jobs of work and can be good value, especially as they are better cooled than modern laptops. Manufacturers appreciate that the passtime of 'gaming' is popular and has produced a lucrative industry in its own right. My view is that it kills brain cells and numbs the senses but what do we psychologists know?

[@mr.alkenly889]

I like the video but I find it really funny that you mainly graded the gaming laptop based off of how it looked and how heafty it is and not in the fps difference or anything like that, I'm not being sarcastic just the way you rip it the whole video is hilarious

[@whizzard]

Hi there, thanks for watching! That was very much intentional, I feel that when i'm reviewing refurbished tech, i'm mostly reviewing the experience of purchasing it, the condition it arrived in, and the value it offers (especially compared to new). And, in general that there should be less focus on an in-depth technical review, cause it's already been done by others a couple of years ago, when the tech was new...

[@EngrMk256]

From which site did you buy the new one

[@whizzard]

Honors own website, hihonor.com

[@Rxzor-45334]
