Starting uni soon looking for cheap laptop Anonymous 2016-06-27 15:31:28 Post No. 55284747 [Report]
I'm starting uni soon and looking for a cheap laptop. Is the Toshiba Chromebook 2 a good laptop for light usage like school work? Not going to be downloading games and shit I just need something for schoolwork and will probably download MT4 along with other documents I'll need for school but that's about it.

16 GB SS HD and 4 GB Ram I figured that would be good enough. Any other recommendations are welcome.

MacBook.

Anything less and you just wish you bought it instead.

Thinkpad T420/T520 or X220 for extra portability

You know it runs Chrome OS (Linux), right? Not Windows.

You should be able to run some stuff through Wine, but you'll lose some performance.

Also, 16 GB is not a lot. You may want to replace the ssd with a bigger one.
