The individual components of the PC are examined in detail.

• The processor : Modern computers are equipped with either an Intel or AMD processor. Their performance and, above all, clock speed can vary considerably. The number of cores also plays an important role. Especially for modern graphics applications, a used PC with a multi-core processor is essential. If you only plan to use typical office applications, a dual-core processor is perfectly sufficient.

• The drive : Whether your new computer should include a DVD burner or a DVD drive is a matter of preference. The important thing is that the drive actually works.

• The motherboard : When it comes to the motherboard, you should look at the clock speed. The processor socket and the amount of memory installed also play a role. Especially if the used computer is a real bargain, you should make sure there's enough space to expand the RAM . However, this must be compatible with the processor socket. Don't forget the clock speed.

Tip: While increasing the motherboard's clock speed will increase the computer's performance, it can quickly overheat, which would damage the hardware. Therefore, you should only make this change if you really know what you're doing.

• RAM : For typical office work or web browsing, 3 to 4 GB of RAM is perfectly sufficient. However, for powerful computers used for graphics editing, for example, the RAM must be significantly higher. The type of RAM also plays an important role when purchasing a used computer. The computer should have at least DDR3 RAM installed to ensure stable performance.

• The sound card : If you enjoy watching movies or listening to music, you'll naturally prefer a computer with an external sound card. However, even onboard sound cards, with the right chipset drivers, offer a great sound experience.

• The interfaces : printer , scanner , digital camera, Wi-Fi dongle, USB stick, USB mouse, USB keyboard , etc. All peripheral devices that use a USB port. When purchasing, make sure your computer has the appropriate number of ports.

• The graphics card : For purely office computers, an onboard graphics card is perfectly sufficient. For all other computers, an external graphics card is recommended, which must have at least 512 GB of dedicated memory, if not more.

• The card reader : A large number of images are taken in private households using smartphones or digital cameras. The card reader allows the SSD card to be read quickly and easily, allowing the images to be saved on a computer or an external cloud storage device.

At it-versand.com you will find high-quality PCS at low prices

The computer is an important component not only in professional life, but also in private life. Whether for surfing, communication, or simply entertainment, you can now buy simple office computers for a few hundred euros. However, if you want a powerful computer with which you can play games, edit images, or perform other tasks that require capacity, you will have to spend considerably more. However, it's not just the high cost that makes it worthwhile to consider whether buying a new computer is actually worthwhile; you should also consider the depreciation. Similar to a car, the depreciation of a PC is enormous in the first few years. This is especially true because, due to the rapid advancements in technology, it quickly becomes obsolete. The alternative solution is to buy used computers. Recommendation: Great Lenovo ThinkPads in comparison can be found here.

Buying used computers – what should your new PC be able to do

Buy a used PC

Buying a used computer - what you should pay attention to

Before you buy a used PC, you should consider what you need from it. If the computer is intended solely for internet use or office applications, a PC with mid-range features is usually sufficient. However, if you want to use your computer for professional image editing or gaming, the device must have powerful technology. A high-resolution LCD or TFT screen is also essential.

Buy a used computer – the gaming PC

Anyone planning to spend more time gaming on their computer should keep in mind that the latest games can only be played smoothly on a powerful, newer-generation PC. Game requirements can vary greatly depending on the genre and age of the computer. If you play a lot of first-person shooters, multi-core processors and high RAM are a must. Regardless of whether you're looking to buy a pure office PC or a gaming computer, it-versand.com offers a wide range of used computers to choose from. All computers were thoroughly tested for functionality before purchase. They were also cleaned inside and out, removing every speck of dust.

Buy a used PC – the technical details

Regardless of whether you want to buy a new PC or a used one, the components installed always allow conclusions to be drawn about the computer's performance and should definitely be taken into account when making your purchase decision.

a) The drive : Regardless of whether the used computer has a Blu-ray or DVD drive or double-layer DVDs, the only thing that matters when buying is that the drives work.

b) The sound card : Depending on the equipment and manufacturer, our PCs have either an internal or external sound card installed.

c) The processor : Roughly speaking, there are only two major processor manufacturers: Intel and AMD. When choosing the right processor, the number of cores and clock speed play a particularly important role. Depending on the used PC model you want to buy from us, the computer will have either multi-core or dual-core processors.

d) The mainboard : The mainboard, or motherboard, is the most important component of the computer, its heart, so to speak. When purchasing a used PC, you should check the motherboard's clock speed. Other factors that also play a role include the type of RAM installed, the number of memory modules available on the board, and, most importantly, the processor socket used on the motherboard. Only processors compatible with the processor socket can be used.

e) RAM : While 3-4 GB of RAM is perfectly sufficient for normal web browsing or office work, more powerful RAM is required for image editing, gaming, or web design. If you're one of them, make sure that there's enough space on the motherboard to expand the computer's RAM when purchasing a used PC. Depending on the computer and manufacturer, our devices have either DDR2 or DDR3 RAM installed.

f) Interfaces : Depending on the model, the number of USB or FireWire ports may vary. The more external peripherals you need to connect, the more USB ports your PC will need.

g) Card reader : If you enjoy taking photos, you should choose a computer with a card reader. A card reader has the advantage of allowing you to upload your photos to your computer much more quickly and easily.

h) The brand : In our online shop, we offer a huge selection of used PCs from a variety of manufacturers. Which one you prefer is entirely up to you. The brand is actually rather irrelevant, as the technical specifications are a more important purchasing criterion.

i) The operating system: As a dealer of used PCs, you can purchase your new computer from us with or without an operating system. If you already have a valid operating license at home, we recommend purchasing a used PC without an operating system, as it's somewhat more cost-effective than with one.

Buy used PCs at it-versand.com – quality and customer service are our top priority

In addition to comprehensive advice, you can expect first-class customer service in our shop. We offer our customers a return policy that is far longer than required by German law. You have four weeks to decide whether the used PC truly meets your requirements or if you would prefer a different computer. In addition, you receive a one-year warranty after purchasing your used PC. Buying a used computer couldn't be more worry-free.

Buying a used PC – the purchase criteria

• Depending on the manufacturer and model, there are only two options for the sound card . The PC either has an internal or external sound card. If you choose a used computer with an internal sound card, this is no problem. The sound card can be upgraded with an external one at any time.
• When purchasing a used PC, you should definitely make sure that the computer or laptop has at least a Blu-ray or DVD drive . CD drives are now completely obsolete. A DVD burner is even better, as it can not only burn CDs, Blu-rays, and DVDs, but also play them.
• Regardless of the manufacturer, our used computers are equipped with either an AMD or Intel processor . To determine their performance, you should look at the clock speed and the number of kernels. The higher the number of cores, the more powerful the computer. The version also plays a significant role in assessing performance. A Duo i3 is simply slower than a Duo i5.
• A standard RAM of 3-4 GB has now become established for typical office computers. If you plan to process graphics and images on the computer or play games, it is recommended that the computer have significantly more RAM. If necessary, the RAM can be upgraded, but only if there is room on the motherboard for additional memory. These memory modules are typically DDR2 or DDR3 RAM.
• Another important computer component to consider before purchasing is the motherboard . Check the amount of RAM installed. Is there room for additional memory? What's the motherboard's clock speed? Which processor socket is used on the board?
• The processor socket ultimately determines a PC's upgrade options. Only the more powerful processors compatible with the socket can be installed.
• When purchasing a new or used computer, it's important to consider the number of ports . The more external devices you want to connect, the more free ports the PC should offer.
• A card reader is recommended for computer users who are passionate about photography. Simply remove the card from the camera and insert it into the PC, and you can read the images.
• While a traditional hard drive is perfectly sufficient for PCs for normal use, a gaming computer should have an SSD installed. To benefit from the speed advantage of an SSD over a traditional HDD, the operating system must be installed on the SSD.
• The operating system is also one of the factors to consider when purchasing a computer. If you have a current operating system with a license at home, you can buy a used PC without one. If that's not the case, you'll probably have to buy a new computer with an operating system. Which operating system you choose is purely a matter of taste, as every system, whether Linux or Windows, has its advantages and disadvantages.

Buying a used computer – specialist dealer vs. private purchase

Of course, you can also buy used computers from private sellers. As long as you know the seller, this is usually not a problem. However, anyone planning to buy a used PC from various online portals can quickly experience a nasty surprise. The computers are completely dirty, have scratches, fail after a short time, and so on. If you want to be on the safe side, it's better to buy from a specialist retailer. Not only do you normally have a two-week return policy (or four weeks in our case), but they also offer a two-year warranty. Both advantages, along with the low price of a used computer, definitely pay off.
