What do I receive with my laptop?
All laptops come ready to use with all the accessories listed in the description. You may wish to purchase additional items but this is a matter of choice and not necessity for using the laptop. All laptops come with the power adapter unless otherwise stated.
Is there an operating system?
Yes, all Laptops have an operating system preloaded unless otherwise stated. Does the laptop come with a restore/recovery disk Most laptops/netbooks when new do not have restore disks as the restore files are kept on a restore partition (part of the hard drive), for data protection reasons this is wiped during the refurbishment process and therefore we cannot provide restore disks with the product, you may be able to obtain restore/recovery disks by contacting the product manufacturer.
Does it come with MS Office, Excel, Word, or Powerpoint?
Our laptops come with the operating system they are licenced for preloaded, MS Office (which includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint) requires its own licence and therefore we cannot provide this installed, even new laptops that advertise that they come with Office usually only come with a 'trial version' which needs to be paid for, there are several free to download MS Office comptible Office suites available (such as Open Office). How good is the laptop battery?
All used batteries provide a charge but we cannot say for how long and it does depend on how the laptop is used, for example watching a dvd film will run the battery down a lot faster than typing a document. New batteries should last for approximately 2 hours. Batteries are consumables so cannot be guaranteed to provide the same performance once they have been used. We need to be notified within 14 of receiving the laptop about any battery issues as after this we cannot offer any warranty on used batteries. Are all the laptops wi-fi (wireless) internet ready?
Most of our laptops are wi-fi enabled but please check the listed specification to confirm if they have wireless. For laptops that do not have wireless there is an upgrade addition which can be selected so that they will be supplied with a wireless card. You still need to have a wireless router at home and an a Internet provider to get online. How soon is my order dispatched?
