How and Why I Stopped Buying New Laptops

As a freelance journalist – or an office worker if you wish – I have always believed that I should regularly buy a new laptop. But older machines offer more quality for much less money.

    If you are not interested in modern gaming, photo/video editing or other similar activities he’s right - there’s no need for buyng new laptops.

    I love “reviving” old laptops, I started doing it for hobby but later I found those laptops very useful

      yeah anyone interested in gaming will want something more powerful, but I think the author’s overall point is correct. For most of us, buying refurbished computers makes the most sense.
