PC Laptops
About Dan
A person who will tell you when not to buy.
PC Laptops is Dan’s shop for people who are tired of big-box spec sheets and repair counters that quote a new machine before they look inside the old one.
He tests every unit, writes the real specs, and says when a $90 SSD upgrade beats a $900 replacement. Sales, repairs, and upgrades all run through the same bench on dan.observableyou.com.
The rule on the bench
If we would not sell it to a friend, it stays here.
No mystery machines
RAM, storage, screen size, battery notes, and condition are written down. You can ask for the test notes.
No silent wipes
Data work is opt-in. We clone, transfer, or leave the drive alone until you choose.
No fake “like new”
Refurbished means tested and described. Cosmetic wear is listed. A dead pixel is a dead pixel.
