There will be zero noticeable difference between a brand new machine and one with similar specs from 5 years ago. Take advantage of the fact that people are dumb enough to think they need a new machine because Microsoft sabotaged them. I'm using a HP Elitebook 840 G7 with 32gb RAM and a 1 TB SSD and

Try refurbished enterprise laptops T series from Lenovo or X1 series. Hp 840 G7-8-9... They will usually have good enough specs and refurb unit have warranty, usually battery is checked/replaced, SSD is also verified/replaced. My son has a T490 i7 with 8+32Gb Ram (was sold for 32Gb but had 8 onboard

Enjoy using a computer that's not going to intentionally slow down over time until you're fooled into buying another one. Or go on eBay and find one of those fools selling their perfectly fine laptop for $80 and turn it into a speed demon in 20 minutes with Mint. Best thing about Linux is you can ta

I give this advice every year and help a load of undergrads save themselves from painful choices… at least with their tech. DO NOT go for "consumer grade" laptops. That is to say, don't go to Curry's and pick a laptop that costs £199. It might be brand new, but it's all plastic and those are NOT bui

Nothing special required. Used business class laptops on ebay are a great value: HP Elitebook, Dell Latitude. I use a 5-year-old Elitebook 840 G7 at work and it's still great. I see good examples of it on ebay with 16GB of RAM for less than $200.

840 G8 i7 without a doubt, worth the £25 over the 840 G8 i5. Otherwise 840 G7 or 835 G8 if you don't mind the smaller screen. 835 G7 if the rest is sold out. Don't bother with the 1040 or 830, not really worth it as the hardware is old. For those prices? I really detest HP, but I would gladly pay £1

Щом ще е първи лаптоп и подарък, няма нужда от голяма инвестиция – още повече, че не е избран лично. Бюджетът е стегнат и ще има компромиси – основно в производителност, батерия или дисплей. Има реновирани бизнес модели с гаранция (често 12 месеца, 6 за батерия), поне 20–30% под бюджета. Останалото

Let's face it, it is a cheap laptop. 12th gen i7 are sold as entry level. It will be a fragile thing, especially if you carry it around. For the same price or maybe less you could have picked a refurbished HP enterprise laptops like an elite book 840 G7 or G8 or better. I work for a large corporate
