What should i do /g/ ?

For $250 you can get a pretty kickass chromebook that would be perfect for pen testing.

I've already got a £400 laptop, not good enough for playing newer games, i mainly use it for scripting and pen testing already, but its not very discrete.

Buying a raspberry pi ce of shit is literally like throwing money away, just get something out of the trash for free, it'll perform 20 times better.

I manage the Cybersecurity, Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Test Lab for a well known corp (200,000 plus emplyees, the only corp I could/can stomache working for actually).
Ive been a penetration tester since 2011; up until 2015 I used a 2007 unibody Macbook with 10.5.9 and 2 gigs ram.
In 2016 I switched to a Dell laptop with 4 gigs ram running Backbox.
My company machine is a Zbook with 32 gb ram running Debian (with Windows 10 and other Wndows varieties running in VMs).
However, I do a lot of my networking pentesting from a Nexus 7 203 flo.
It forces non sec-types to take network security issues seriously; crack WPS on a site's printer, Responder.py some share creds or NTLM auth. hashes and you are ready to pivot via a 100 dollar device (I will SSH into another machine if I need more computaniol power, but usually I don't).
99% of your work will be from terminal. Low power machines running Linux/Unix will be more than enough for almost any engagement. Also, low power machines will force you away from automated tools and toward thinking more (in my opinion), though I am looking to buy my first X220 to beast out.

The only rPi worth buying is Zero. If you need something more powerful than 0 then buy Odroid instead. It costs as much as rPi except it's twice as better.

Just get a cheap Thinkpad then install a small SSD. Easy, cheap, reliable, plenty of spare 'Pads on the net.

Alternate option and often cheaper, a used business class HP or Dell.

Also, presuming you live somewhere not under a bridge, collect all the free desktops and notebooks you can scrounge then build yourself a few machines for the experience and use.

It's addictive and it works very well. I'm lazy so I scattered Thinkpads and other PCs in my shops, home and guest house. I'm always near at least one and usually more PCs. Windows boxes where I need Windows soft, and Loonix boxes for everything else but most have other OS in VMs.

I don't need one new PC, I need many older reliable PCs. Get gud at fixing them for others and you can barter for goods and services.
