Some ChinkPad, prolly X201. Or you can stop being an idiot and save up for a MBP. Buying cheap shit is more expensive in the long run and leaves you with a worse computer.

I've had a FUCKTON of bad experiences with those pro and elitebooks... Parts just failing one after another, panels not fitting together properly... Latitude or thinkpads are usually built better

As someone that just got one for $145 and is now shitposting with it, I can second that. Fucking phenomenal for the price even before getting into modifications.

Not even memeing, second hand macbook air 11" for ~170$ on ebay with a 30$ brand new battery. As long as is it for taking notes and browsing the webz its cool and most important, lighweight

while I use a MBP Retina the statement about macbooks being cheaper is bullshit.

I think he was trying to get at the fact that buying a cheap machine means you get what you pay for. A used older model is often a better budget buy than a brand new cheap machine. I just got a Thinkpad T420 with an i7 and 6 gigs of ram for $145 US. You simply could not buy a new machine of comparable build quality and maybe not even performance for that kind of price.

>T420bro

you couldn't be more right. I currently use it as my workstation and I couldn't be happier.

This thing is basically my dream laptop. I wish I hadn't taken so long to get on the Thinkpad train.
