I have just purchased a Lenovo n500 notebook and installed another ram stick to make it 2gb. I have all the connections set up, like the battery, and the power cord. I go to turn the laptop on, but only a black screen shows up. The lights on the keyboard show up, but nothing else. I’ve even tried to use the screen brightness but that didn’t work either.

Is this even a good brand?

We are using an SVGA cable male to male. We connected the cables first to the laptop and tv when it’s powered off and then when we turned on the laptop, changed the display properties(step by step) as mentioned here in Y answers. But still our tv just says “Not Supported” even if we changed the input to ‘RGB’ already and then our laptop screen just goes black. We need to unplug the cable from the laptop again in order to navigate.. What seems to the problem?

Buy laptop bags online- measure laptop for laptop bags, laptop cases & sleeves

 

Measuring Laptop Screen -

 

Grab a measuring tape and measure from the bottom left hand screen corner to the top right hand screen corner. You should be going in a diagonal line. This will give you your laptop’s screen size i.e. 13″, 14″, 15″ Wide, 17″.

 

How To Use These Dimensions -

 

Take your laptop screen measurements (i.e. 14″, 15″ Wide, 17″) and compare your screen size with the third line of your chosen bag’s laptop dimensions on our product pages [see below for an example] - this will tell you what laptop screen size the laptop bag is designed to fit.

 



 

For Laptop Bag -

 

Close your laptop fully and measure the WIDTH.

This is the longest side of your laptop and you need to measure across from the left to the right.

 

With your laptop still closed, measure your laptop from the bottom to the top anywhere along the sides of your laptop to find out the HEIGHT.

 

Finally, measure from the front to the back of your laptop to find out the DEPTH (… the back is where your laptop connectors will commonly be).

 

How To Use These Dimensions -

 

First, double check your laptop measurements (WxHxD) against the first line of your chosen bag’s laptop dimensions on our product pages [see below for an example] which will tell you the actual laptop compartment dimensions.

 

The second line (bag dimensions (WxHxD) [see below for an example], will tell you the actual size of the laptop bag. This is usually a little bit bigger than your laptop.

When you have decided to buy a used laptop, your decision doesn’t end here. Again you have two options to decide from: whether a used laptop or a refurbished laptop.

A used laptop is used by a user for a long time and is sold again to you. Though a laptop is sold after one-day use immediately after purchase, it will be sold as a used laptop.

Refurbished laptops are laptops used after purchase and returned to the manufacturer or store. The manufacturer refurbishes the parts needed and again sells it as refurbished laptop. These refurbished laptops are equally good as new laptops, but you get it at a much cheaper price.

While purchasing a used laptop you have to look for three important factors in a laptop such as condition of the laptop, features available and the portability of the laptop.

The used laptop’s working condition is very important and it is advisable that you buy a laptop that is within three years old. The currently available programs and software cannot run in outdated laptops since they cannot support the recent technological features. If possible you can stick for searching laptops that are not more than eighteen months old. You don’t have to be concerned about some of these aspects, if you are buying a refurbished laptop as it will be repaired and tested like a new one.

Another important factor that is to be considered is the features available on used laptops. If your main concern is speed, then keep in your mind that laptops operate slower than the desktop computers that have the same processing system. Never buy a used laptop with memory less than 128 MB, as it cannot run many of the programs and applications that are available in standard computers of today. You can buy a used laptop that’s powered between 20 GB and 80 GB of Hard Disk capacities depending on your computing and processing needs. Other important issues while buying used laptop are the laptop screen size, resolution and definition. Also make sure that the used laptop has the needed capabilities for entertainment and media requirements. As laptops are becoming lighter and thinner day-by-day, its portability is very important while you purchase a used laptop. Choose a weightless used laptop that is portable even with added accessories.

You have to be careful while buying a used laptop from an acquaintance or a private vendor. You have to do a thorough examination of the used laptop with the help of a professional or a neutral party. You can easily get deceived while buying pre-owned items and used laptops are also one among them. Computer knowledge is a must while purchasing a used laptop and then only you can ensure a laptop that will meet the standard requirements for today’s environment.

A laptop is a portable gadget that helps you to explore all information you require. As the process of buying a used laptop is complex, you can buy a used laptop guide that helps you in solving problems of what is needed in a used laptop and what is not to be done while buying. Always give importance to factors like the laptop brand, size, weight, battery life, connectivity, storage, memory and processing power. A laptop with high processing power can provide you best value for your money spent.
