If you're ever thinking of getting something like a chromebook, he's right. Might as well get a thinkpad.

It has to be from http://www.amazon.com/

He said Amazon.

You can't use a fucking chromebook for any STEM degree, and Thinkpads are fucking garbage.
>>
>>51774617
It could be Amazon.co.uk, .com, .de, .fr ...

Post in the thinkpad general. For 500 you can get a monster of a thinkpad.

You're probably going to shell out more than that for a single book for one of your classes.

Jesus, you want a laptop for four years for $500? And you think it will be sufficient for engineering? I hope you intend to do nothing but edit the occasional Word document, because you're sure as shit not doing any engineering on that.

let me guess, your next post is going to suggest an iBad

>>51774677
I think you're overestimating what is required for professional engineering software, at least for what sort of work college students will be up to.
>>
>>51774692
no as they are also garbage
>>
>>51774677

Anything above a **20 series thinkpad will handle CAD effortlessly, and a t420 can be had for less than 200 in great condition.

Anon, just post in the thinkpad general. For 500 dollars you can get an absurdly powerful thinkpad that will last 6-8 years. You could honestly readjust your budget to around 250 dollars and still fit your criteria.

These poopad faggots just don't stop, don't they?

Find better unrefurbished ones on amazon, you lazy pieces of worthless human resource
>>
>>51775092
Stop shilling your fucking garbage.
>>
>>51775134

What benefit is there to shill for used computers? You're a moron. We're just trying to help the guy find the best value computer that meets his criteria. Used business class computers are the best value. Elitebooks are good too, but I don't have any experience with those.
>>
>>51774772
He's right you know.
>>
>>51775421
it's well known that there are refurbishers that shill on /g/. they talk about it all of the time on /tpg/ you fucking faggot. fuck off.
>>
>>51775520

How retarded are you? Do you think that people selling used thinkpads would pay people to post on 4chan in the off chance that they will randomly buy a thinkpad from them. A purchase thwt would net them 50 dollqrs at most.
>>
>>51775617
they post the links you dumb faggot. /g/ is a huge board.

>>51775744

No they dont.

Rdp chromebook is much worth.

>nuh uh!

>>51776136

Go look at the thread and find an example. I can't prove a negative.
>>
>>51776173
lurk moar
>>
>>51776223

I lurk the tkpg threads all the time. Theres 200 posts in the current thread and there are a few threads still in the catalog. Go find examples, it should be easy if shilling is as pervasive as you say.
