I'm trying to find a new laptop for my parents.
Currently they have a ~10y old dell latitude (pic related) runnning arch. The only use their laptop for office and internet stuff.
I have been looking at chromebooks but to install linux which they want to stick to you have to open the laptop so no guarantee here.
I'd prefer a SSD no matter what size but an HDD would be okay too.
The budget is about 300€
Thanks for your help /g/entoomen
Lenovo Ideapad 100s.
It's all they need, and it's killer.

chinkpad t420/t410, elitebook 8440p, or some other latitude with similar specs. Buy SSD separately, you should be able to fit in 300 yurodollars easily Don't buy them garbage like >>54665955 suggested.

It can run IE and Office just fine. Opt for the 4gb ram model. Screen size is small though, might be a problem for blind old people.

My brother carries one around with him all day at college and no problems yet, it's been about 6 months.

It's $200 laptop, it's shit and it willl die withing 2 years tops. Don't expect it to even close come to your parents old latitude, in fact latitude will probably still outlive it. Your call though, be a good goy and buy cheap shit, then buy another one.
Toshiba Chromebook 2 with 1080p screen and 4gb or ram is a really solid chromebook
>>54666185
used is not an option because i cant find any used pad with guarantee
>>54666193
im not looking for a chromebook because i would loose guarantee when installing linux

Also with a used laptop there's the high probability of cum particles on and in the keyboard.

Cum guzzling faggot detected.
>>54666747
I guess removing few screws and replacing keyboard with brand new one is beyond average neo-/g/ poster.
>>54666960
Nothing will remove all of the cum.
>>54666959
forgot this: :^)
>>54666984
maybe if you lick it, just try!
>>54667018
That would defeat the purpose of buying a cumless laptop in the first place.
>>54667033
but it's not cumless and if it is you could ask yo dad

My T420 was $1,300 in 2011. Paid $130 for it on ebay in 2016. Still performs great for anything but gaming.
Buying a cheap shitty laptop new, you shouldnt expect it to last more than a year or two.
