  • Right now the best cheap laptop I know of with usb c charging etc is the t480 and t580. A refurb or renew with an i5 and 16gb ram is around 300 or less all day long. They are cheap to buy, cheap to fix, modify, or replace and will run great now and for years to come.

    With the internal and external batteries, they can have 2 at once, they can run all day easily and then some.

    Get the 1080 screen tho.

    For $500 or less they can be had with i7 and bigger ram for more powerful duties.

    They just don’t disappoint.








  • The linux developers have done an awesome job and linux has come so far it’s amazing. But for the vast majority of computer users they don’t even know what a terminal is, period, and linux is useless to them unless a Linux user sets it up for them for a very specific use case and that’s all they ever do with it.

    If all they want is an email and web appliance, a typical computer ignorant user can use linux if it is given to them by someone else.

    Yet an ignorant computer user can go and buy a Mac or a windows machine from a retailer and get the job done without having to know anything at all other than they want a computer for x y or z.

    Its like the linux developers can’t fathom a PC experience without the terminal as a vital participant.
