I see the need to write this because many times I have seen people with different misconceptions about UK and USA used laptops. It is either these people expected the UK and USA used laptops to be brand new or they believe that these laptops are all bad.

Firstly, I think it is important to clarify what USA/ UK used laptops are. They are laptops that have been used by other people and are imported from USA or UK into Nigeria. These laptops are formerly owned or used by schools, industries, organizations as well as individuals.

Educational institutions, industries and organizations may decide to upgrade their computer systems, as such they will sell off their old model laptops. Note that most times, these laptops are without faults.

Also, some individuals may sell off their old model laptops because a newer version has come out or the laptop may no longer satisfy their needs; in some cases, the laptop might have developed a slight fault.

People from USA and the UK most times do not like fixing their faulty gadgets because there are a lot of swapping companies who are ready to either swap their faulty laptops for another laptop or who can pay reasonable amount for their faulty laptops and they can just add a little money to get a new one.

It is also important to note that the laptops with faults can be fixed and sold as UK or USA used as well, but the companies ensure that these laptops are properly fixed and are in great condition.

In addition, when buying USA or UK used laptops, open your mind to the fact that these laptops have been used by someone; as such, it may come with scratches, although some are very clean. However, some scratches can be due to poor handling during shipping.

Now to the second misconception that UK or USA laptops are bad. Well, I won’t blame anyone for this because the person may have had a bad experience in the past. Like I said above, UK or USA used laptops are imported from these countries. However, there are some dealers who buy cloned laptops from China and Dubai at cheaper rates and then sell them here as UK or USA used. Cloned laptops are not the original make; they may have similar features as the original but their parts are nsot original and as such they do not last long as the original brands.

As I round up, one may ask why people buy UK or USA used laptops. Well, for one obvious reason, it is more affordable. New laptops are expensive, especially the bigger models. A dual core new laptop could go for 120k- 150k whereas a UK/ USA used one could be purchased for 60k-75k. Another reason is that the specifications for UK or USA used laptops are sometimes higher than the new ones because the company may decide to increase certain features in the laptops to increase the value or in response to customers’ requests and feedbacks.

Therefore, as you decide to buy UK or USA used laptops, note that they have been used by someone and that it passes through a lot of processes to ship them down to Nigeria; as such, a lot of things could happen. But then, ensure you are buying from a genuine dealer and be open-minded too.
