Question Are these used deals worth it?

[Stef Zia]

First of all, I have a laptop with a 15.6 bad screen and it strains my eyes, especially when I am at work and I am using its monitor( I am working as a DJ-5 hour sessions. So first goal is to find a laptop with a good screen. After that I am a student- electrical and computer engineer- so I am spending a lot of time mobile. I have found these from a seller(open box/ new) :

Lenovo V17 G3 IAP i5-1235U, 8GB RAM 512GB SSD, οθόνη IPS 17.3", wifi 6, type c, sd card 340€


Thinkbook 15G2 ITL i5 1135G7, 16 RAM , 512 SSD backlight keyboard and fingerprint 340€


HP 15s-eq2237ng notebook 230€
Ryzen 3 5300U, 8GB RAM 512GB SSD, Type-C, screen 15.6" small dent in the side

Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2 12.4" Touchscreen (i5-1135G7/8GB/128GB SSD/W11 Pro) Platinum

surface with touch screen 380 €


Are any of these worth it for me?(Personally I am thinking the Lenovo V17 G3 IAP and/or the Surface Laptop Go 2)



After that,regardless of my needs are there any of them good deals so that I don't miss out on them ?

Can you pass on links to all the laptops you've narrowed down to? I generally tend to buy brand new and recommend others do the same. Having warranty in the event that the laptop does have issues is a plus, not to mention that a brand new laptop would happen to be a little more reliable compared to one that's been used/abused in the wild.

What's wrong with the screen? Is it too small, too dim, lacking in contrast, poor viewing angles, or is too reflective?

By the way, the Lenovo V17 G3 IAP ships with two different display panels - a TN panel and an IPS panel. The former is truly awful so you'll need to find out the panel type before considering that model.

Bad viewing angles bad contrast (bad srgb)

Sorry, I should also have asked for the name and model number of your current laptop.

I got the new laptop but I have a problem I got an open box laptop(Lenovo v17 g3 iap) from a dude on a local used electronics website. He stated that it is brand new and only getting windows in Greek(from German). I am guessing that it might have been an exhibition one because he gave me only the laptop and its charger. The thing is that windows says that it is not activated. Having downloaded 2 pieces of software that tell you windows activation keys. I have found 2 Windows keys but it doesn't work(still deactivated) . What to do?(how can I upload photos?)
