Warranty & returns
Coverage, return window, and who is responsible after the sale.
Common failure points
Components and systems buyers should understand before purchasing.
Parts & long-term support
Availability of replacement parts, service, and continued product support.
Refurbished vs new value
Whether the price difference reasonably offsets second-owner risk.
