In November last year, I spent 650 to buy a 13.3-inch Samsung Ben, the processor is i7-3537U, and later spent dozens of pieces to upgrade to 12GB memory (onboard 4G + 8G strip), at that time I felt that I picked up the leak and wrote an article, and as a result, many netizens said it was not worth it, and I always had a pimple in my heart. Recently, I happened to be busy at work, coupled with Samsung's 1366x768 low-resolution screen hot eyes, I plan to change to another second-hand book, or I like the 13.3-inch small book.
Later, he quickly locked the target - Dell XPS 13, eight years ago he picked up this machine for the first time in Suning, he was deeply attracted by the ultra-narrow frame and light weight, but the new machine was too expensive to start. Nowadays, second-hand is generally about a thousand, I bought one for 800 yuan, the configuration is i5-5200U + 8G + 256G, there is no introduction in the seller's post, I lost a few physical pictures, objectively deliberately concealing a "can't hide" problem (here first sell a pass, will be said later).
Let's look at the color first:
To be honest, the overall color of this machine is good, except for a little plastic knocked off in the upper right corner, no scratches on the front, no oil on the keyboard, and non-sticky palm rests, which belongs to the kind I can accept. Now the cheap XPS 13 is either a metal edge with a corner, or an aging sticky hand in the palm rest, and there are many screen white spots, which old machines can understand.
The configuration is as above, the old machine must look at the battery health, my one is 51.07%, who knows that there is a "thunder" inside. In addition, XPS 13 9394 this model is onboard memory, idle fish within 1000 yuan is mostly 4G memory, and can not be inserted to expand, I looked for a long time to find this 8G. In the same way, if it is an old book of on-board memory, it is best to go directly to 8G to avoid regret.
The point is that this machine I found that the right side of the trackpad is upturned and can't be pressed down at all, and the left side is saggy. I immediately reported the situation to the seller and asked him to authorize me to take it apart and take a look, and I could fix simple problems.
After the results were taken apart, the "New World" was discovered:
It turns out that this computer has a very serious battery bulge problem, and the two small battery bulges on the left are very serious, just "topping" the trackpad. Later, I took a closer look at the shell, the right palm rest was actually thrown up, although the health of this battery is not bad, but the bulge battery has great safety risks, if accidentally punctured, oxygen will enter spontaneous combustion. To put it bluntly, this bulge battery is a mobile bomb, I usually put my laptop in the trunk of Tesla, in case the laptop battery spontaneously ignites in the car will be miserable.
It is said that this notebook is "overturned", immediately contact the seller to negotiate:
Since the price of this book was returned to 800 free shipping, I promised to "never get a knife" before buying it, so I sincerely give two sets of solutions. One is that I paid back and forth freight to him, I lost about 50 yuan, and the seller did not lose money. The second is that I was looking for a disassembled battery to replace it in Xianyu, and the seller reimbursed it, and then found a 50 disassembled battery and confirmed the receipt to the seller, and I took the rest of the risk.
I also want to say a little experience here, it is normal for disputes to occur in idle fish transactions, but it is best to communicate based on evidence, and do not be angry. Generally speaking, even if I want the other party to make up the money, it will make the other party more comfortable, rather than malicious. After all, don't make a deal tense, it is not cost-effective to affect your mood.
Then there is the idle fish panning for batteries, 50 pieces to get:
XPS 13 disassembled batteries are mostly healthy at about 50% or below, and the price is normal within 80 yuan. But I was lucky enough to find a professional seller who did recycling, and directly sold a battery to me for 50 free mail, but he only guaranteed that he did not bulge, could not guarantee the state of the battery, and I was treated as a "blind box". It was installed immediately after it arrived, but it turned on the machine, the battery was gone, and it was estimated that it had been idle for many years. This battery has a certain chance of being scrapped, and it is easy to lock up after deep discharge below 0%.
As a result, after fully charging the book, it was found that the health of the battery was actually 100%, and the system showed that it could be used for more than 3 hours. I really can't figure it out, is this a brand new spare parts battery, the seller treats it as an old battery? At present, the price of the new original XPS 13 battery is usually around 150-200 yuan.
After replacing the XPS 13 with a new battery, the trackpad is not upturned, and the two problems of battery bulge and trackpad warp are solved at one time for 50 yuan. Ben came to this point, this computer really can't fault anything, up to my own standards. But unfortunately, I empathized with it again, because I found a book that attracted me more than the XPS 13 (pictured below from the right).
Since this article is already quite long, the "story" of XPS 13 comes to an end. I will write another Fujitsu book for this new and invincible light book in the future. Some people may say "you are not tired", but for people who like to play second-hand on the machine, this kind of toss is not only not tired, but also very enjoyable and decompressive, and there is a huge sense of satisfaction and achievement in finding good goods.
In the end, after my brilliant rejuvenation, this XPS 13 eliminated all pitfalls, and the second-hand value also increased. I hung up the idle fish for 1115 yuan, but the result was photographed by a beautiful woman in seconds, and I didn't say a few words during the whole process, and I sent it to her the next day. I calculated the account, and it was a wonderful experience to earn a small 300 yuan after tossing and turning.
