“Hardly used”

From a real ad:

Computer for sale. This is a great machine that works excellently! Hardly used, and only for Word processing. Selling it because I’m not using it at all.

“only for Word processing”? Is that like “only driven to church on Sundays by a little old lady”? Should I be worried if it’s had a 100,000-keystroke tuneup?

And another one:

I bought a Dell Inspiron 1000 laptop a week ago for my brother and he does not need it so I am willing to sell it away.

Isn’t that something one would find out *before* buying the laptop?
