Used notebooks and laptops from Janado

Buying a used laptop/notebook from Janado means buying quality like new. In our refurbishing world we have used top devices for you that have been professionally overhauled - or "refurbished" in English.

There is a difference in quality between “used” and “used and refurbished”, which is of added value for you.

A used notebook that is privately advertised in the newspaper is an old device whose condition you do not know. If the previous owners are not IT and hardware experts, they only know the condition of the device from a layman's perspective and cannot give you any further guarantees.

We can give you such guarantees. The notebook/laptop that you buy used from us at a reasonable price is completely overhauled. The device is like new.

What is the difference between a notebook and a laptop?

From a semantic point of view, a laptop is a computer that sits “on top of the lap” - on your lap finds. From this point of view, a notebookist is a computer that has the format of a notebook. A notebook can be transported like a notebook in a briefcase and in an A4 (or letter) document folder.

With this definition, all notebooks would be laptops. Due to the form factor, they are small enough to fit “on top of the lap”. Conversely, not all laptops would be notebooks. Laptops with a large display and those that are thick enough for slots with a DVD drive etc. do not fit into a document folder for DIN A4 (or letter) papers.

The semantic view alone is not sufficient to explain the differences.

Laptops are commercially called portable computers that compete with desktop computers in terms of performance. You can find - high-priced - laptops with i7/Xeon processors and graphics cards from the NVidia RTX series and 64 GB of RAM - laptops that - in addition to the price - can be fun for power gamers and game developers.

Notebooks are not originally intended to be replacements for high-end desktop computers. They are designed for office and internet and are intended to be a second electronic companion alongside the smartphone. They should be small, flat, light and inexpensive.

So much for the theory.

In practice, there are devices within the range of (so-called) notebooks whose range of performance is not inferior to standard desktop PCs. ASUS, Apple and Huawei have models in their range where the notebook character is limited to the “Book” in the item name.

What is more important to you than the nomenclature is that you choose the portable device that is best suited to your intended use. We'll be happy to advise you!

Which used notebook is best for you?

For office and internet, you don't need a device with which you could render an animated film. To do your work at home and in the street cafe in the summer, you need a notebook that you like to take with you. It must be small, light, handy and able to operate for a long time without recharging.

Power users need a laptop that is a transportable double of the desktop PC for DTP, programming and graphics-intensive games. It is of no use to you to purchase a device that is small, handy and cheap, but which you cannot use on the go for your applications.
