Never pay more than 150 bucks for a laptop.

This logic doesn't apply here.
You can buy new games under $30, you can't buy a decent computer for under $150 unless it's walmart-tier garbage made from the absolute scraps left over from all the other prebuilts.

desu once adjusted for inflation it's more like "don't buy a game for more than $50"

Never spend less than $1000 on a laptop if you want a good one.

Obviously 300 is too low. But even 500 isn't good enough?

I have an Lenovo Ideapad 100s and given it's basically ~$160 it's pretty damn ok.

if you're only running gaybread thrushpeep on it then sure

Try the shops, no not the fucking walCUMart, but the computer shops. BETTER deals. OR just get a fucking tower.

These days 150 bucks only gets you a netbook not suitable for installing gentoo on

500 is okay if you're poor and your demands aren't that high. If you're like me and use laptops for all computing needs, you get picky and spend a decent amount of money.

I find 800-900 is actually the sweet point for most users.

Agreed, buy a refurbished thinkbad. And spend the majority of the money on a good desktop

What if I have a good desktop, but want a good laptop?
I don't want to spend more than 1k but for the specs I look at, they go to 2k
Higher end P51 for example

old business laptops are still good
2570p ($100) + i7-3632qm ($50) = a fuckin 12" quad core laptop thatll run faster and not throttle like some crap ulv
