Match the charger to your laptop
Chargers are not interchangeable, so give the seller the exact laptop model and the wattage printed on the old charger, and say whether the plug is USB-C or the round barrel type. A 65W USB-C charger from HP is listed at about R 490, while a Dell 65W notebook charger sold with its power cord is listed at about R 900. Ask whether the power cord is included, because some listings sell only the adaptor.
Warranty: what is covered in South Africa
Most gaming laptops come with a standard one-year warranty, and many brands sell extensions to two or three years. Some South African sellers' terms cover batteries and LCD or LED screens for only three months and exclude physical damage, so read the terms before you buy. ASUS's Perfect Warranty applies only to laptops bought from authorised ASUS resellers in South Africa, and Acer's standard warranty lists five years for mechanical parts and two years for electrical parts.
Summer heat and cooling
October is late spring here, and summer runs from December to February. Laptops run hotter in warm weather, so a cooling pad or a stand that lifts the laptop is worth considering before summer. A cooling pad for a 17-inch laptop is listed at about R 349, and stands start at about R 87.
Sizes, delivery and how it is bought
Give the screen size in inches. Many sleeves and bags in the listings are for 15.6-inch laptops, while the gaming laptop in the listings has a 16-inch screen, so measure before you buy. Prices are quoted in rand, and you should check whether delivery is included. Delivery to Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria or Gqeberha can cost different amounts, so ask for the total to your city before you pay.
On BlaBlaPrice you describe what you need in your own words in a chat, for example "65W charger for a Dell notebook, Johannesburg" or "15.6-inch sleeve, grey, delivered to Durban". Using BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. It reads the request, asks for missing details such as the laptop model or the screen size, then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in South Africa and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their price and delivery terms, and your contact details stay hidden until you decide to share them. You can also start from laptops or laptop accessories.
