/g/, are there any high build quality laptops under €400 on the market that aren't thinkpads? I want to text edit and watch videos, and I don't want the machine to physically break.
no, either buy a used thinkpad or save and buy a macbook, anything else is garbage.

My Acer Zenbook UX303 lasted 7 months before the AUX cable broke and 13 months before the hinge broke. It cost 900 alien bucks.

A used MacBook is a better option.

A used MacBook is even more of a waste than a new one.

Woah, woah! Holy shit, my roomate was asking me for advice on what computer to get for rendering cartoons and photoshop. I helpfully pointed out some laptops in the $500 price range, which you can get cheaper refurbished, with 8gb of RAM, and intel processors. He fucking bought a refurbished macbook pro from 2009. It actually has two 4gb strips of RAM instead of one 8gb strip of RAM. A used macbook is not a good fucking investment anon. Literally my moms HP would be better.

Where did you get a $1500 laptop for $180?

The fact that they "hold their value" is a selling feature for these retards. Of any used computer you buy, Macs are going to be the most overpriced.

You can get a refurbished desktop pc with an i5 and 8gb of RAM for around $300 so I don't know why he spent $500 on a laptop made in 2009.(2009 really?)

The 2007 MacBook hardware is identical to the x60 ThinkPad. The x60 goes for $40 and the MacBook goes goes for $160. Normies are just paying for the brand, they have no idea what they're buying.

Same. I scored an 8570p for $125.
I bought it off some black girl at work. Was it stolen? Maybe. Is it the best $125 laptop ever? Oh hell yes.
Chromebook doesnt have this problem.

How is this even a question asked here? Do you not understand how to search anywhere other than newegg?
