Amazon provides users with an extensive ecommerce platform, with purchases ranging from clothing, games, kitchen, niche topics, home décor, technology, and more right at your fingertips. Exceptional delivery time on everyday items, insightful reviews, and a great return policy. Though Amazon has millions of official and 3rd party sellers using its ecommerce platform in showcasing their products & services, there are risks to be aware of especially when buying laptops.
In recent months, we have heard reports of users buying computers from Amazon with complicated issues regarding unclear support policy plans and overall, not what they were expecting. In today’s blog post, we are going to discuss key risks that come with purchasing from 3rd party sellers on Amazon, with misleading specs and even receiving used items.

Especially when it comes to your devices and overall cybersecurity hygiene. Located in Westford MA, we work alongside multiple small and medium-sized businesses in the Boston metropolitan area ranging from doctor offices, construction, attorney offices, accounting, and so much more.

One of the questions we get every once in a while when we're quoting new systems is why is our recommendation is more expensive than what the user see's in the latest "big box" retail sales flyer. Sometimes users will think they can get the exact same system for less, and when we review things closely, this isn't the case.
