- Published on September 14, the guidance consolidates recommendations and a Brújula de Compra comparison to help consumers make reasoned purchases.
- For tablets, Profeco highlights 7–8 inch models for portability or 10–12 inch Full HD for multimedia, suggests at least 4 GB of RAM, 8–10 hours of battery life, 64–128 GB of storage, and checking Wi‑Fi or cellular options plus USB‑C ports.
- For laptops, it recommends a minimum of 8 GB of RAM, an appropriate processor for everyday tasks, a 256 GB or larger SSD, 6–8 hours of battery life, and sufficient connectivity including USB, HDMI, and a card reader.
- The agency points to refurbished and second‑hand devices as lower‑cost, more sustainable choices, advising buyers to verify the equipment’s condition and functionality before purchase.
- To extend device life and protect purchases, Profeco advises using reliable antivirus software, protective cases or backpacks, avoiding constant charging, reviewing the warranty, keeping the receipt, and using the Teléfono del Consumidor or official social accounts for complaints or guidance.
