I picked up this beauty 6 FUCKING YEARS ago for $600, and it still runs like new. It's incredibly quick. Lenovo is a meme

I used this forever. Last week I tossed it into a box with a PSU. Guess which part won the fight. Now I'm looking for a monitor under $300, I'll probably go for LG's 29" 1080p Ultrawide with FreeSync. If I can't get 16:10 gaymen monitors I'll just go the opposite direction and try ultrawide.

Nice anon, $300 is a lot for a monitor anyway so you will no doubt get something really good.

I forgot to mention in my OP that this notebook weighs 1.1 KG. Seriously, it's the best thing I ever bought.

Wow, that's sad, running a six year old computer. Someone could use an Apple iPad Pro!
>>
Galaxy Note 8.0

Its only issue is some bloatware which can be removed. It's a really good tablet with good resolution, s-pen, pretty light, pretty small. I feared I would lose it because on a very, very rainy day it got really fucking wet and I left it that way for hours without noticing it after I got home. To my surprise it survived and within a few weeks most of the screen was restored. Its battery is pretty good. It's fast with the right software.

Nowadays I don't use it much, but I'm not giving it away.

I did that thinking "well, now I could play some current shit" and then I kinda realized what a waste of money that was. Because I ditched Windows.

The only reason I would change it is to switch to a quad-core CPU and to buy a business-grade laptop

ran 3 years, fan died, ran 4 years without fan, passed it to a fried in need, might be still running
that shit was awesome, somehow managed playing oblivion on it

The best value devices are the Thinkpads I bought used. I wouldn't buy one new because they are so costly.

>>53693825
You can switch to quad core anytime if you got intel and its not soldered

It has pretty good build quality. I'd still use it if Android wasn't such a sluggish piece of shit.

I am still running this... I walk into the att store every few months out of curiosity and test the new stuff against the g2... its just not that much faster or that much better yet.. The v10 is pretty nice but is it worth 250 over my working g2? I am not sure.

Mmh, if I find a quad-core 1st gen i7 for cheap I could at least try..

Back in 2008 I got an HP Pavilion dv7, refurbished, for somewhere just south of a grand. It was bulky and a housefire, but it did everything I asked it to do, up until last year when I sold it and bought a ThinkPad. Good piece of tech. I miss the screen.
>>
>>53694382
Just remeber that 1st Gen quadcores are pretty shit unless you go high end over the 2ghz mark. Also those do not come with integrated gpus
>>
>>53693825
This. Except mine are Samsung and Sony devices. Still surprising they last.

10/10 wouldn't buy again, still

I have a descrete GPU, theorically it should work

This.

Especially now: consumer-grade laptops now are completely shit! In 2010 there were more possibilities to find a decent one

paid 500 bucks for this thing in early 2009. last year i put an extra 150 in it by purchasing a new battery and SSD. i use it daily and it hasn't shit on me once, fucker is built like a tank

also managed to buy a brand new z1 compact for 200 bucks in the summer of 2014. that's flagship specs for a very basic price

value deals are the best deals, gotta be on the lookout like a fucking shark though
