Looking for burner laptop under $300, needs to be able to browse websites and have a good battery life. How's the T420s?
lenovo 100s. very cheap, battery is decent and the build is nice. screen is average and so is the memory, but at least it's expandable. win10 is a problem though, it's not straightforward to install linux, I haven't been able to do it. but I'm useless with linux anyway so your mileage may vary.

just checked it out, it's really lacking in terms of performance but shouldn't be too big of an issue because I won't be using windows at all. I'll be using Tails (linux distro) to be specific, so as long as it can load web pages I should be fine. Thanks for the suggestion

like I said, look up lnux instalions on it, people have a bit of trouble even installing it in the first place and then the people that did had a lot of trouble with drivers. I use it for internet and stuff and it is totally fine for that, it would be literally the perfect laptop for me if I could get mint or something on there. win10 is a fucking nightmare.

Save up and get the xps 13. Nobody in the 1st world should suffer with a crusty cum stained laptop from poojeet.

get the damn t420 then 150 bucks on amazon it has an i5

T420s has terrible battery life. I own one, beat up batteries don't get more than 2 and half hours of use.
Get a T420 with the 9 cell battery

2 and a half hour ain't that bad. Its kinda standard these days. But you are right

I have a XPS 13, I need a *burner* laptop.
>>54592224

probably better if I buy the laptop first and get the batteries off ebay. I won't be using this laptop more than a couple hours at a time anyways.

look at this one. http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Thinkpad-T420-Professional-Refurbished/dp/B0156VPUTS?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
Get the X220.
12 inch screen, 9-cell battery, three pounds or less.
Only problem is the lack of a second HDD slot, but you can still put an express drive or one of the micro port ones in.
