How To Buy Reliable Tech

··1 min

✓ Purchase from publicly traded companies #

Public companies prioritize profitability and avoid producing unwanted or defective products. This commitment to quality enhances the value of your purchase, as they often offer complementary products or services later on.

✓ Opt for the latest version of a product with a proven track record of more than five years #

Over time, product development improves hardware and software, making the latest version a superior choice. It’s cost-effective in the long run to invest a bit more in the latest version, which benefits from these advancements.

✓ Check customer reviews from multiple sources #

Assess the product’s usability, aesthetics, and any necessary accessories by reading user reviews on various on-line platforms. Take the time to explore as many reviews as needed to ensure it aligns with your needs.

✓ Protect your eyes and those of your loved ones #

Consider buying devices or that are Eyesafe[1] certified.

✓ Prolong the life of your battery #

For devices that have a battery, keep the charge between 20 and 80 percent [2].
