My Latitude E6430 have small issues but it's still superior to previous Thinkpad T420. Will probably buy 14 inch precision in a few years. Also some of HP Elitebooks fall into consumer grade category.

I have a spending limit of $600 for a laptop. I know that's cheap as hell but I can't do anything about it. I need a laptop that'll last 4+ years through college and can handle basic tasks (browsing, typing papers, streaming, torrenting, but not gaming). I've looked into Thinkpads post 2012, but from what I've heard they're shit. Refurbished/used laptops also probably wouldn't be a good idea because that's taking a chance that the laptop won't break on me halfway through college.
It should also be noted that I do have a desktop I'm taking with me to do all the heavylifting, but it's practically a necessity to have a laptop for the major I'm pursuing.
>>43015813
I do.
>>43016088
How does N900 rank?
>>43015813
What's so bad about acer? I have one of their laptops and it hasn't fallen apart after a few years so it has that going for it...
>>43015813
I am only interested in laptops with God tier specs.
>>43017944
$600 is plenty, I just spent $160 on an e4300 Latitude. Its doing really well, 4GB RAM, 160GB on the HDD and should work for the basic tasks you need. With $600 you could get a bitchin laptop
>>43015813
I like that my t60 and x31 falll into God tier even though they are ancient.
No need for any mobile devices. I live in what is practically an efficiency apartment, so my desktop is literally just a few feet away from me at all times.
I'm not very fond of mobile technology. It's often too difficult to service due to everything being soldered onto the motherboard or requiring very proprietary parts that aren't interchangeable with other brands / types. If one major component fails, all you're left with is a very expensive paperweight.
>>43015813
But I do own a PowerBook G4, OP.
>>43018044
Acer is the closest you can get to buying a steaming pile of shit in a box.
>>43015813
Well I don't know whats the point of owning such a nice laptop when all I do is browse internet and code on it.

Clickpads.
I'd settle for the keyboard but clickpads are cancer.
>>43019454
So it's basically a less shiny Macbook Pro?
Actually that doesn't sound so bad to me, but I can see why people who have been using the line for a decade or more would be upset about that.

You can get an X220 for less than half the price of that and it will be more powerful and will have longer battery life.
>>43019481
I've only seen Apple pull off a clickpad with some success.
Every single other machine with a clickpad fails horribly at being a usable input device.

>Refurbished/used laptops also probably wouldn't be a good idea because that's taking a chance that the laptop won't break on me halfway through college.
In the ThinkPad threads, nearly every poster there bought their ThinkPads used/secondhand. They are very sturdy and well-built machines, which is why they're recommended.
At most the corners will look a bit worn down from being carried in a bag or something, might be a scuff on the lid, the keys and trackpad might look used.
I bought two used ThinkPads and they were both in perfect condition, except for one has a small crack in the corner of the palm rest, which I could replace for $20. Not to mention replacing it is extremely easy, only a few screws and it slides right off.
I bought them for $250 and $350. You won't find a better deal than that.
Hey guys, just bought a Lenovo G505s for dat price and APU.
Is there anyway to unfuck Windows 8.1 or am I going to have to install 7
Have an x201t
I like it
>>43019668
Except how long have you had them?
And where can I buy these used laptops without having to worry about getting something totally fucked up? The appeal of buying a new laptop is knowing what you're going to get. Buying something used online is always a toss up - you could get lucky and find something that is in great condition, or you could find something on its deathbed.
>>43019755
wait for a clearance or an amazing back-to-school sale.
or suck it up and buy a manufacturer-refurbished (i.e. Lenovo Outlet) but those are still usually pricey and at your budget, you'll have a shitty 1366x766 screen (those are not considered customer replacaelbe otiether)

I recommend the 13"-14" latitudes. The optical drive is removable and you can put an extra battery or hdd in the slot. I bought an e6220 2 years ago and it didn't have that feature. The 14" latitudes are huge at 5+ lbs. My dad has an e6430. I now have an e7440 and it's great. It came with an mSATA ssd so I can put an extra ssd/hdd in the other slot. Wish it could hold another battery, though.
How's the keyboard?
>>43020291
fuck
meant to reply to
>>43020263
>>43020308
I like it. All the latitude keyboards within the past 5 years are the same. Minor flex, though. I can only compare to a 10 year old Inspiron (shit), 5 year old studio (shit), xps from last year (poor button placement, chiclet - didn't like)
Because I have an ASUS that I bought 2 years ago for HARDCORE GAMING like WoW and LoL. Now that I'm a little more knowledgable, I haven't really seen a need to get a new laptop. It can play every game I've wanted to try with decent graphics and w/o lagging. Why change what works? In 2 years when I commission I'll probably get myself a graduation present, then I'll research some more

I own an Acer. Runs really well for a 4 year old laptop. It's a shame the i3 in it can still keep up with the ULV CPUs they put in laptops these days, so it still performs fairly average, even for today's standards.

I want a machine which is small, light, reasonably powerful, power-efficient, and which is *very* FOSS-friendly (i.e. not nVidia graphics, and preferably not a dual-GPU solution). They even sell this model with Ubuntu pre-installed, which suggests that it is at least GNU/Linux friendly. I probably won't get it for a couple of months, but my PhD stipend at the moment is *ridiculously* good, so I can easily afford the £999.
