I recently bought a second hand laptop , its ssd (samsung 850 evo) as in the photo has
power on time : 32495
wear leveling : 90
total writes: 36 TB
is it good or should i replace it at the seller with a lower brand (adata , hynix , sandisk) with like 95-100 wear leveling and lower working hours (less than a year)?

ps: it works fine, the read/write speeds are good

In that case, I would expect the SSD to last for a few years. Ive had an SSD running ok since 2010 ( an old Intel 160GB first gen) and its performing 100% still.
However, as always, ensure you do regular backups of your data.
I think it may depend on how full the drive will become as you use it, as the less free space available to do provisioning is not good for an SSD.
36,392GB (36TB) is not excessive.
How much free space is there currently and what use do you intend for the laptop? If you are going to fill it up with torrents etc ?

currently only the windows
i use for it for college so it will be just some courses and books, there will be plenty of free space
