>>55490503
Your 200 will get you an atom quad with 10' display, if that's what you want , then get it.
DON'T buy SD.I wouldn't(you'll realise they have problems or will get problems, like old HDDs with bad blocks etc., overheating and smell, even bad keys)

But hey, it's your money.

I got an HP 2560P and put a quad core i7 and 128GB SSD in it, total cost < $200.

Probably helps that I bought a "no CPU/RAM/HDD" one for $70 and already had some RAM laying around (~$50 for the SSD, $60 for the i7 2630qm).

Top kek. Everyone here should just buy a used thinkpad T400 for $80-110 on ebay or Amazon. That laptop you have pictured will break if you drop it on carpet. The trackpad also shits around and the keys feel terrible. It scratches easily and just feels like cheap plastic when the lid is slightly bent after a month of normal use. Also 32GB is not enough and a micro SD slot is a terrible way to make up for it. It also somehow stops you from booting into USB flash drives. That means you're stuck with Windows 8.1 or 10. Enjoy.

X220 pulls 8-9 hours out of a good genuine 9cell.
>>
>>55493319
Buy a replacement battery from Anker on Amazon. New cells and better capacity than the oringinals.
>>
>>55493571
>32GB
Are you serious? Is this what normalfags put up with now?
>>
>>55493681
Facebook, YouTube, Netflix. Photos and videos uploaded by phone. Porn streamed, not downloaded no. No vidya except lol, because they put up with shit hardware they cheated out on. Don't need space for that.

I bought that piece of shit.

It's alright but holy fuck you need to install a different or clean OS ASAP. The Windows 10 copy is so fucked up out the box it barely works.
>>
>>55493585
have any idea on a x200?
>>
>>55493759
**20 series or newer.
Sandy bridge is acceptable, the rest is trash.
>>
>>55490503
just get a used Thinkpad from Ebay.
good specs for the price, actualy tends to come with a good OS, lasts longer than any other laptop and easy to upgrade.
there is no reason to get anything else
>>
>>55493753
Also when you first boot it, there's a custom screen from Asus asking you to register it. There's no decline or "no thank you" button, but you can press enter with everything blank and it will skip it. I hate software these days.

how exactly are you a poorfag? what are you spending your money on?

why can't you save up for a decent $500 computer?

I've never used one, but guessing based on the battery life my T601F gets, maybe 5-6 hours?

Toshiba Chromebook 2 (2015) with the Celeron 3215u (I think) and 4gb ram is the shit to get. CB35-C3300 is the model number, or the Canadian version. Then save up and pop a bigger ssd in there. Run GalliumOS.

What's better?
What's wrong with Toshiba?

>>55496224
>What's better?
Practically anything you could possibly buy.
>What's wrong with Toshiba
Other than the fact that it's a company known for churning out shit laptops and you're recommending a laptop made by them, not much.
>>
Is an X220 with an i5 and 8GB of RAM worth $135?

They're memepads - meme + a decent GPU.

My statements founded in Toshiba's laptop track record. They suck.

I'd never buy a laptop made by either company.

Can the newer atom processors run FL Studio and Ableton Live smoothly?

Acer C720 chromebook, got it a few years ago for $50 when Best Buy had some "trade in any laptop for $100 towards a new one" or something. Running Xubuntu.

I've got an x5-z8300 and it can barely browse the internet. So unless it's a more powerful one, I'd go with hell no.
>>
>>55490503
Just check Newegg refurbs. Find specs within your price range and profit.
>>
>>55490503
I almost bought the new dell 11. But I kept checking specs and lets say for the sake of argument that the specs were remotely acceptable, a Penitum Dual Core laptop will be cheaper and have better specs.
