>>56549357
Try looking here

>>56549357
if your that poor you should buy an used one

Sorry I'm on mobile and I can't even apparently

What

What is a good new $400 Laptop that you can buy new?

>>56549770
T420

>>56549770
Doesn't exist unless you're fine with 1366x768

>>56549818
What if I am fine with 1366x768?

>>56549828
then you should consider the rope

>>56549357
I almost bought it last week. I got a thinkpad 13 instead, can't complain about anything.
Both seem to have very good price/feature ratio tho.

>>56549845
The thing is I need a laptop for uni projects but I am too poor to afford xps 13 and already have a PC for heavy load, so I basically need it for programming. I'd get a chink pad but I don't think it's a good idea to buy from pajeet on ebay.

The price difference between the 5005u and 5200u models is about 150$. Everything else being the same, is the upgrade worth it?

>>56549910
look for an used t420 and buy a new battery and an ssd, that should add to just under $400
that will be better than any acer or shit you find new for <$400

>>56549910
I got e430 4 or 5 years ago for pretty much the same reasons and it was a great choice, now I'm getting a PC but still keeping it for carrying around uni and work. Never had a problem with it.

>>56549928
I went with the core i3 one, because i wanted to buy the e450 and the 13 was more expensive anyway, so I chose the cheapest version.
But speed-wise it's completely sufficient, I use it only for office, internet etc. For performance I've got my desktop.
PS. I'm in love with my battery life.

How many hours are you pulling?

>>56550070
Obviously depends on what I'm doing on it. But with wifi on and normal screen brightness 6 hours are achievable I think.

Since you considering a E450 you probably not a thinkpad enthusiast or somebody who like business laptops so any used t/x series would do the job even the "shit" one like the t440.

ASUS X555DA-AS11 is about 400$ right now from Newegg, ebay shows about 3700 sold already, You might want to look into that as its probobly a Special event sale.

as a matter of fact, I would probobly Hurry.

>>56549357
bought top version of E540 last year. sold it and bought old ass X230 week ago. that should really make you think.

>>56549910
then buy locally
there are tons of ads on craigslist/kijiji in most cities

NO. FUCK NO.

My school gave us all these pieces of shit and they were horrible. Do yourself a favor and buy a used business class laptop instead. Thinkpad, Elitebook, Latitude...

E series is the shitstain of the Thinkpad line.

>>56552853
Our school let us buy the tax free.
I didn't take the b8 so I bought an old EliteBook

>>56552853
What problems did you have?

>>56549357
E series is always bad. Also enjoy your hinges falling apart after a year

if you take care of it, it should do fine

don't listen to these faggots and their t420 POS
