Why cheap N14,000 laptops from China aren't worth buying

There has been a lot of noise about buying cheap laptops online in Nigeria from Chinese websites such as Aliexpress.com. Before you decide on buying such a laptop, you should ask yourself if it is really worth it.

Such cheap under $100 laptops do not offer the same quality of service as a $200 to $400 laptop. It is probably meant for kids or people who don't intend using the device for the long term, cause in the long term, it would only show you it's real worth.

Why those cheap $100 Chinese laptops suck
Still want to know why you shouldn't buy such a laptop? Here are my reasons:

- It is not really a laptop. It just a netbook
- It doesn't come with updated Windows software and can't be upgraded
- It has low internal storage. Only about 4GB
- It doesn't have a wide screen or keyboard
- It is not designed for computing but basically for surfing the net
- It doesn't have a lasting battery or replacement parts
- It doesn't have much technical support in Nigeria
- It just can't replace the need for a computer
