I guess I should also make sure all the ports aren't too loose

If you do not have physical access to it (e.g. ebay):
>Specs (duh)
>If the specs are incomplete, see if there's a detailed model number (e.g. the 7-digit code for thinkpads) that will tell you all the stock specs
>Check if the particular model has any known flaws
>Check pictures for physical damage
Don't be afraid to ask the seller for more photos or info
If you have physical access (craigslist etc):
>Keyboard condition and feel, make sure all the keys work
>Mouse buttons
>All ports working
>Screen: no dead pixels, no physical damage
>Battery condition
>No unusual noises
>Memtest and/or prime95 if you have enough time and they let you test it
Brandon Brooks
Ask for the original box and guarantee
Ask for any licenses
Kevin Scott
Alright, I'm going to have physical access. I'll read about that memtest. Thanks.

One important thing to check is if the BIOS is locked, especially when buying used business-grade laptops like chinkpads.
Leo Foster
>is it a thinkpad?

Luke Ward
How to use grammar correctly.
Kevin Morris
BIOS passwords, anti theft enabled

Screen, fan, how the outside looks (if you care about that), mic, touchpad, keyboard, camera, speaker, battery (!). If it runs then RAM, CPU, HDD/SSD and (potential) dGPU should be OK.
Christopher Gomez
But as an ESL, sometime during your first ten English lessons you get taught that if the word is pronounced with a consonant you use 'a'. To me it's more of a retard mistake than an ESL mistake, or at least I've heard and seen it done by a fair share of natives.
Alexander Cooper
Oh yes and check the ports.
Elijah Peterson
This is an important one.
Michael Sanchez
Before a vowel sound you use "an".
An hour.
Fucking dumbass.
