Used 486 and entry level used Pentium Laptop Systems still
have a lot of life left in them. Today when Pentiums have been
superseded by Pentium II computer systems, some people may wonder
why someone would need a used 486 laptop system. Here are some of
the reasons why used and / or refurbished 80486 notebook computer
systems are still going strong:
They are excellent training systems. A 486 laptop has
enough power to run a large number of training courses,
be they in computer training or some other profession.
Used 486 laptops are more than adequate where a computer
is being used primarily for typing / word-processing.
As intelligent terminals in a network, pre-owned 486 or
entry level Pentium laptops are an excellent choice. Why
buy a $700 thin client when a $400 486 notebook is
available.
As dumb terminals on a network. Forget a refurbished 486
laptop, even a 286 laptop can fit in that role just fine.
Still cheaper than buying a new terminal and does the
same job.
Pre-Owned 486 laptop computers are well suited for e-mail
applications. A lot of people give a used 486 notebook
with a modem as a gift to a friend or family member so
that they can conveniently e-mail each other and stay in
touch. E-mail applications don't require a Pentium II
machine, a good old 486 notebook is just fine for it.
Used 486 laptops or entry level Pentium notebooks are
very handy for students who can best utilize their time
if they had a notebook but can't afford a brand new one.
Even business people can utilize a used low end notebook
for work that needs to be completed on the weekend. A 486
laptop can effectively handle most word-processing,
spreadsheet and database applications.
In short, if you are looking for a low end laptop computer,
give a serious look to used 486 laptops. They are a very good
investment for their price.
