    Laptop health check

    Hello

    I am currently in the process of buying a variety of second hand laptops and would like to know what tests I should run them through to make sure they aren't on their way out. Obviously a hard drive check is required, but what else would you recommend? is there a suite of software which will be able to test them for me or would I have to purchase various different programs?

    Any advise would be much appreciated

    Thanks

    running intel burn test for an hour on max will show if they can take the strain.
