Excuse me /g/ i came around these parts in hope that you may impart upon me some of your great wisdom.
I am currently in the market for a Desktop OS laptop. It needs to be quite(passive cooling(no fan)), relatively fast(photo manipulation and browsing the web with 50 tabs), a good tall screen, a nice keyboard, and a track point if it isn't too much trouble. what do you recommend?
P.S. i also have a budget of $300 and i don't mind something used in good condition
>300 American €
I was going to suggest the new macbook for the passive cooling part but looks like you need a thinkmeme (Lenovo Thinkpad if you're not from here) anything with an i5 will meet the requirements, they're really silent and run cool with a dual core CPU. Be sure to get one with 8GB ram and SSD for a faster experience.
Personal suggestion: x230 with 8GB, 128/256gb ssd and IPS screen. Be sure the battery has less than 100/150 cycles, and you have a truly usable computer for today standards.
I second the x230 plus ssd combo. You can probably upgrade the ram to 16 gb for that price.
