Is it wise to buy an used rugged laptop?
Used or refurbished rugged laptops may be a good choice for those of you that don't want or can't afford spending big amounts of money on a new laptop (even an an industrial one).
Save money buying an used ruggedized laptop
For some of the people I know, buying an used ruggedized laptop or even a refurbished one is a strategic solution, due to the fact that soon after buying a new laptop, the technology gets old.
So, by buying an used rugged laptop they get sure that they don't pay that much for a technology that is still perfectly usable.
Watch promotions on stores selling refurbished ruggedized laptops
You should keep an eye on those stores selling used rugged laptops, you may find good laptops at low prices.
Also a lot of companies resell their resources after a while trying to upgrade them, so there may be a real possibility to find used but good ruggedized laptops that you may buy at a lower price.
Anyway, rushing to buy a brand new technology is not always a good solution, new technologies (and here I mean latest industrial computers) usually are very expensive, while I am sure you don't have a real need for the fastest mobile computer on the market.
If you also count that rugged laptops are usually more expensive than regular, commercial ones, then you should really consider buying an used rugged laptop (or a refurbished one, if it is well fixed).
Remember what I said earlier: identify your real needs, think what you want from your laptop computer. Usually, a lot of regular applications that are developed to run on rugged laptops don't need the latest technologies available on the market.
Go with an used rugged laptop or even with a refurbished one but do it after a real good analysis. Usually an used rugged laptop will do the trick just fine but for half of the initial price! However you should double check if you don't use some resource consuming applications that may require a stronger computer.
