What to Check Before Buying a Refurbished Laptop in Lesotho
A practical checklist for students, freelancers, and businesses buying refurbished laptops in Maseru — specs, warranty, battery, and support.
Refurbished laptops are one of the smartest ways to get reliable business-grade hardware without paying brand-new prices. Before you buy, here is what we recommend checking every time.
1. Processor and RAM for your workload
For everyday office work and school, an Intel Core i5 (8th gen or newer) with 8GB RAM is a solid baseline. Heavy design, accounting, or development work may need 16GB RAM or more.
2. Storage type and health
Prefer SSD storage for speed. Ask whether the drive has been tested and whether any bad sectors were found during refurbishment.
3. Battery health
Battery life matters if you move between meetings or campuses. A good refurb should disclose realistic battery performance — not just "works on charger".
4. Screen, keyboard, and ports
Inspect for pressure marks, dead pixels, sticky keys, and loose hinges. Confirm USB, HDMI, and charging ports all work.
5. Warranty and local support
At CypherTeQ, laptops include warranty and WhatsApp support so you are not left alone after purchase. Always confirm what is covered and for how long.
