You’ll want to take the computer for a test run, which is why the meeting place must have power outlets and wifi that you can use. It’s just safer, if maybe a little inconvenient, to meet someplace where other people are rather than at their place or yours. Meet in a well-lit public place with power outlets and wifi that can by used by customers.Here are some recommendations from Yours Truly, who’s been buying stuff from local online people for twenty years: Still, as with Uber and Airbnb, you should take some safety precautions. In an age where it’s not unusual to get a ride or place to crash from a stranger, where the term “gig economy” is part of everyday parlance and everyone seems to have a side hustle, the idea of buying a used computer from a stranger doesn’t seem so weird anymore. I grew up in the era when teaching “stranger danger” was standard, so I was pretty amused when this joke started making the rounds: In this article, I’ll show you how to shop for a gently used machine that’s suitable for software development, will serve you for years to come, and will cost both you and the environment significantly less than buying a new one. Secondhand machines offer lots of bang for the buck, but can be a dicey proposition if you’re not careful. This problem was often solved with the judicious purchase of one or more used desktop or laptop computers. There have been times when either I or the scrappy startup where I was working was short on cash but needed one or more computers in short order. I plan to use this machine (which is probably the most “dudebro” computer I have ever owned) mostly for CPU- and memory-thirsty developer stuff - Android, Flutter, Unity, Pygame, and machine learning - and mmmmmaybe just a little gaming here and there.
I have a new computer, or least one that’s new to me: An i5-powered 15″ 2020 edition of Acer’s “Nitro 5” budget gaming laptop, which I loaded up with 32GB of RAM.
