Unboxing Live 036: HP Pavilion DV6885SE Bronze 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 The currently available programs and software cannot run in outdated laptops since they cannot support the recent technological features.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.

How can I make sure that my laptops battery will last longer?I noticed that my old laptops battery didn't hold it's charge anymore. It would have to be plugged in the entire time otherwise it would shut off and die right away.
With my new laptop, I want to make sure that its battery will hold it's charge and last longer than my older one. What steps should I take or what should I do to make sure it will last?

The above answers are good, there is no limit to how many laptops you can carry with you, you might want to insure anything you put in your check-in bags as the general rule of travel is "if you value something, carry it on, and don't check it in." I had a friend who had his laptop stolen from a check-in bag. You may have a problem when you get to the Philippines with the customs inspectors, I'm sure customs would require you to pay duty on 5 laptops that you plan on leaving in the Philippines, just be aware of that, whether you want to declare them or not is none of my business.
Get one that's got a wireless assistant built into it so that it can just pick up connections around you without having to install antyhing. Otherwise you're going to have to buy a whole bunch of crap in order to have internet access.
I have this laptop and it's great:

Other than that, you should be set. If it's new it should have the latest stuff so no need to update it.
They have a wirless internet card plugged in…you can get them from various places..it's basically just an all in one package…the service , the wireless connection, all tied into one card. it has an antenna on the side to pick up connection.
Here's an example

and they still cant manage to play games on them without using bootcamp.
i dont know, but you should try calling your airline and ask them what you are allowed to bring on the plane
Connect the cables from the laptop to the old hard drive. If you did that, or the cables doesn't fit, you're out of luck, as far as I know.
You should be fine as long as you meet the size and weight restrictions for carry-on baggage. Where you might have a problem is with the customs officials in Pakistan depending on what you plan to do with the three laptops.

i dont have sound so cant hear what hes saying
Laptops and notebooks are the same, only a different way to call them.
Netbook is a mini-laptop, smaller than a normal laptop, and normally is used only to acess the internet. It's like a computer to acess the internet, because many netbooks have only a 4/8Gb SSD memory. I'd truly recommend you a notebook, because of its qualities, but if you are looking only for a way to be connected elsewhere, buy a netbook.
this laptop is amazing, i actually picked the bronze over the silver mostly cause it looks amazing and unique. And with AMD Athlon processor with ATI radeon, you cant go wrong.
for the people who say it looks like shit, when your walking around best buy, im sure it’ll be one of the laptops that’ll catch your eye.
^Companies like Hewlett Packard and Dell will build a laptop for you to your specifications, they can be pricey and you have to call the company to order, you can check retail stores, but I've never seen it offered in the stores.
You can check out their websites below.Good luck, I hope you find what you're looking for.
