Why have you "had enough"?

Anyway you shouldn't get it because if(or when) any of the parts fail, including the battery, you have to throw it out.

Having serviced thousands of laptops, the most common failures on laptops in order is:

1. HDD/SSD
2. Wifi module
3. USB
4. Display (failure, not user damage)

1 and 2 are easily fixed fortunately on most laptops. Macs go straight to the garbage for any problem 1-4.

>>60953797
Technically you are meant to replace the battery in a laptop every 2 years, some say 1. They inevitably degrade over time and eventually funny things happen like inflation, exploding etc. If it's a desktop you won't have this problem.

SSDs also fail inevitably after a number of years depending on usage, but a lot of people replace them before then.

Keep in mind when people say the Surface Laptop isn't repairable they don't mean by yourself, they mean period. You cannot fix this thing if it breaks unless you are some literal microsoft engineer with glue. With the Macbooks you simply can't replace the SSD yourself very easily, although it's actually still doable from what I hear.

They could get away with not having the SSD replaceable but the battery makes it

I like this one a lot.

Cheap and upgradable. Easily add more ram for cheap.

12 hour battery life. (I own one, it is more around 10 hours on classic 4chan shitposting)

Comes with a M.2 slot for future SSD upgrading.

It's no thinkpad, but it is a good price for a cheap new laptop.

Any modern laptop can be plugged into a monitor, if you want to use it for gaming you'd have to spend more and get something featuring Thunderbolt 3.

Very good choice, these are reliable computers.

I personally would choose one with an IPS screeen and with SSD instead of HDD

>>60954746
>>60953525
These are the only good answers here OP.

I guess this would be as good a thread as any to ask. Are the new Thinkpads as Linux-friendly as the 4/530 series and older? How do the newer Latitudes compare?

>>60954987
Using a higher-end model of this line right now. It's pretty reliable and has a good quality hard disk. Not a fan of chiclet keyboards, but it's passable. The only real gripe I have is with the atrocious trackpad, but I've disabled it and mostly use a USB mouse anyways.

That said, if you ever plan to upgrade your computer yourself, it's a bad choice. They are designed to use space as efficiently as possible, so it's a huge hassle to get inside the thing, and even if you do, you'll need specific tools to avoid stripping screws and causing permanent damage and it will take a good while to get where you want to be. Mine has an M.2 socket on the underside of the motherboard, so the entire computer has to be pulled out of the case just to get at it and install an SSD, as there is no underside access. If you don't mind paying some store to install things for you then this should be fine.

What fucking retard told you that?
My Surface 3 holds 92% charge and it's more than 2 years old, has done over 400 cycles.

The only laptops I used with such shitty battery durability are Dells from the mid 2000s.

With most modern laptops with Li-Po batteries, you bet you can get 1000 cycles easily.

Shill harder you pathetic retard.

There used to be a time laptop batteries degraded in like 1-2 years, to basically hold no charge at all

People remember that time very well.

>buy Surface Laptop for $1,300
>better Surface Laptop comes out a year later
>sell old Surface Laptop for $800-900
>buy new one for $400
>rinse repeat

Tell me why this isn't a good idea? Sure you have to put a lot of money up initially, but you get an upgraded laptop every year for cheap. No worrying about outdated parts, upgrading parts or stuff dying.

>>60959931
This goes for anything. But 1300 the first year and $400-500 isn't actually cheap. Especially for a weak machine for surfing and typing. If you even can get that much for a used one, which I doubt.

It may be disposable as you cannot repair it..

But in my case, I've been using it 3 straight years and shit doesn't degrade at all. Battery feels like new

I'd be surprised if it didn't last 8-10 years

>>60959931
Because you can literally get an X1 carbon or T470 which will be a significant better computer, and it won't devalue half as much as a disposable surface book after a year.

If I were to get a laptop I'd get the newest XPS 13 nothing else. But I see this meme constantly popping up and it's kinda bullshit, the only things that hold up to be true in this picture are the shitty cords (yes they do wear easily) and the new CEO being a retard. This picture just shows some cherry picked faulty devices, in fact any device with a lithium battery has a risk of exploding and potentially harming the user. Overheating is something that only happens in some models (and I've even read most notebookcheck reviews); the battery life being less than expected mostly comes from someone upgrading a older model to the latest OSX version.
