How it works
- 1Tell us what you need. What it is for and what you can spend. We come back with what that money actually buys, honestly, including whether it is worth waiting.
- 2We go and find it. We look, we check it over, and we send you photographs and the price before you pay anything. If it is not right we keep looking rather than talk you into it.
- 3We bring it to your block. Turn it on and go through it while we are standing there. Anything wrong at that moment and it goes straight back with us.
What we need to know
There is no price on this page because there is not one to print until we know these. Send them in the first message and you get a number back rather than a question.
- What you will use it for
- Notes and lectures, or editing video. The honest answer saves you money far more often than it costs you any.
- What you can spend
- A real number, not a hopeful one. It is the single thing that decides what is worth looking at.
- New, or clean used
- Used goes much further at the same money. Say if it has to be new and we will tell you what that buys.
- Anything it must have
- A particular processor, storage, a backlit keyboard, a specific phone. Say so, because it narrows everything.
- When you need it
- A good one at the right price sometimes takes a few days to find. A deadline tells us whether to wait or to take what is there.
Questions people ask
Where can I buy a laptop as a student at PAU?
Tell us what you need it for and what you can spend, and we go and find it for you. We send photographs and a price before anything is bought, and we bring it to your block so you can check it over in front of us. There is nothing to browse here: it is an errand, not a shop.
How much should a student laptop cost?
Give us your budget and what you will use it for and we will tell you honestly what that money buys right now, because prices move. If your budget does not reach what you actually need, we would rather say so than sell you something that will not do the job.
New or used?
Used goes a great deal further at the same money, and most student machines in Lagos are clean used imports. Say if it has to be new and we will tell you what that buys instead. Either way we tell you exactly which one you are getting.
What if it develops a fault?
Used electronics carry whatever the seller gives, which is sometimes a short warranty and often nothing, and we tell you which before you pay rather than after. That is why we hand it over and wait while you check it. If something is wrong at that moment it goes straight back with us.
Can you get a phone too?
Yes, the same way. Tell us the model or just what you want it to do, and your budget.
