tablets and desk top computers.
Computer Society Zimbabwe president Mr Atwell Mukusha said that second-hand computer gadgets were assisting marginalised groups in the country.
“Low-income earners can now afford to use world- class computer gadgets such as iPads, play stations and smartphones at affordable prices,” he said.
A brand new laptop is going for more than US$500 in the shops, an amount way beyond the reach of many, while a second-hand costs half the price.
The sale of second-hand computer gadgets has also created employment for many youths in country who cannot find formal employment in industries.
Consumers have, however, complained about the durability of some of the second-hand gadgets which sometimes have faults while others would have been stolen with passwords that cannot be unlocked.
Mr Mukusha urged consumers to seek expert advice when buying second-hand computer gadgets. – New Ziana.
