Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether purchasing used laptops for a company should be classified as a fixed asset or a business expense. The general guidance suggests that if the laptops meet the criteria for fixed assets, such as having a useful life of more than one accounting period (typically over a year), they can be treated as such. However, the one-year rule isn't the sole determining factor, implying other considerations may apply.

I can provide you with some general guidance.

If the used laptops meet the criteria for fixed assets, you can treat them as such Fixed assets are long-term assets that are used in business operations and have a useful life of more than one accounting period. 

If there life is more than a year then show them in fixed assets
One year is not the only criteria.
