Some universities and colleges used to supply computers to all students. I doubt they still do. They'd be more likely to provide a purchase option for a discounted one supplied by a contracted vendor.
Apparently my dad had one of these $400 laptops laying around, and when i asked my dad why he bought it and never used it, he said it was very slow. I tested it, it took about 10 minutes to get to the desktop. Luckily my old pc that i don't use anymore happened to have a 512 gig Kingston SSD inside that i used to upgrade this laptop, and now it runs super fast with boot times being 30 seconds. I also ordered more ram for it.

Honestly I doubt there is a better laptop in existence for the price. Plus great battery life.
6:22 easter egg: "how to get blood out of a carpet" This is the kind of editing I enjoy, by the way! Not "over-the-top and childish" with in-your-face text; but the subtleties, like the little emphasized, seemingly random, sounds from the review unit (3:46~4:05), and the little old school "loading" hourglass at 4:22! The out-of-focus Linus at 7:07 trying to use "Hello" on the $400 laptop while emphasizing the practicality of it in the more expensive one. This is, editing wise, to me the best piece of content you have put out in quite some time now. I really enjoyed it and hope you strive to continue on this road with future content!
Tip, a used Thinkpad + SSD is about the most bang for the buck laptop you can get. Hell, a used T420 with an SSD would blow that thing out of the water whilst being even cheaper.
I juiced up one of these with an SSD, afterwards it was actually kind of snappy when the CPU wasn't struggling to keep up which was frequently. Thankfully even the cheapest Dell's now have decent processors and SSD's.
I bough refurbished HP Elitebook 8460p with 1 year warranty in 2015 for about 200€. It serves me perfectly even today. I just use it for some basic games and college duties.I might install SSD in it and use it for another 5 years lol.Would buy used one again 10/10

My grandma bought me a $500 dell laptop for my birthday awhile back when i was 7 (im 11) i kinda messed it up and got it full of junk. For Christmas of 2019 i got a chromebook. But my brother broke it. I had to use my old dell laptop that was already 8 years old (with Windows 7). I messed it up by making it laggy and crap. Acidently turning off sound. It even glitched out on accident and it took me 5 times for a hard reset to work to bring it back to life. I finally got sound back and fixed it without factory resting it. Dell is a really good brand and my mom has had the same dell laptop for 15 years. Some times its worth the price.
I bought a laptop for $200 10 years ago, and it's still going strong. And I am not some low level end-user. I have 3 built towers in my room right now that I switch between for various reasons and projects. My point is that a $400 laptop is fine for many people.

I bought a DELL Inspiron 3537 for my dad five years ago for 420$, I upgraded it with a SSD and 4GB of RAM more (60 bucks total), and five years later, is still doing fine. Not everyone needs 2k, 1.5k or even a 800$ laptop.
i have a 5567 that can edit video for 1000 bucks, i even stufffed an ssd in it! for what i need its a decent little thing, hard drive sucked but that was fixed 3 years in
They look *really* ugly though. If you already have a primary desktop, I'd honestly just get a ~$100-$200 chromebook, slap a $40 SSD on it, (*optional*) replace ChromeOS with a linux distro. They perform as well/better than these laptops and they look a lot better. EDIT: Also, Linus, "on a budget" does not mean double the price.
Anyone actually looking for a budget laptop should get on newegg in the refurbished section. You can get 4 times as much computer for 1/2 the price of the $200 laptop in this video.
Yeah, that's what I did and I got a 8460p HP which has 4 gb of ram and 2 core 4 thread i5 with 2.5 ghz. THe computer is pretty good and allows me to 3D model fairly smoothly for only 150$. also it runs windows 10.
If you have a budget of $400 then go for a refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad. You'll get an older generation Core i3 or i5 (which will still be better than a new Celeron, Pentium or any low end AMD A Series processor) and probably 8GB RAM. Some refurbishing companies usually shove SSDs in them which helps greatly. Those run far better than any low end new computer which in reality are just a mish-mash of leftover low end parts. You're not going to get a screen with a good viewing angle and the laptop might be a tad heavy but they're still great.
You can get such great refurbish deals on Ebay, it's amazing. I bought an Ipad, that was refurbished and it holds without a problem and also saved me more than half of the real cost, where I'm from.
Or just go strait to used! I got a Lenovo z500 for 99 dollars, 3632QM, gt740M, 8 gigs of ram/500GB under the hood! Maxed out the RAM and replaced the drive bay with an SSD, only for an extra 80$. Now that's a deal.
Just got refurbished i3-6u laptop off Dell outlet for 212 USD. At the sub-400 price point if you aren't buying used, refurbished or on clearance you are being scammed.
Dell Inspiron 5570 is a pretty solid laptop. It's between $400-$500. The only difference between the lower priced ones is they come with mechanical hard drives and an 8th gen, 4-core i5. This is the one I just got for $400: www.microcenter.com/product/488404/Inspiron_15_5570_156%22_Laptop_Computer_-_Silver;_Intel_Core_i5-8250U_Processor_16GHz;_Microsoft_Windows_10_Home;_8GB_DDR4-2400_RAM;_1TB_5,400RPM_Hard_D
Calle Nilsson I'm guessing you got the Lenovo Ideapad Z50-70? It has the gpu (which would cost 100-200 more on the dell) but it also only comes with a 1366x768 monitor, and 8gb max space of ram. The dell has a 1080p monitor with room for 32gb of ram and 2 extra hard drive slots (cd tray can hold an extra HD plus a slot for an m.2 HD). Unless I'm wrong and it's a different Lenovo, in which case I'd be curious to know what model.
Exactly that's the point of the video. If you only had $400 he's saying don't buy the $400 one. You aren't getting a better laptop, so why waste your money. It's like people asking questions about what kind of ethernet cable to buy. It doesn't matter, the $10 cable will do the same thing as a $50 cable. Will literally last forever, and if it doesn't, you can just buy another $10 cable.
save up more money and buy something like the dell inspiron 5000 13inch. bigger and better screen, better processor, still have touchscreen and 2 in 1 conversion, and it is only 20 bucks more
And you expect everyone needs a gaming laptop? They are heavy, often ugly and have an even worse battery life. Most people need a "MacBook Pro" a laptop that can be comfortably used for web browsing and other every day work without a hiccup and have enough power for an occasional more intensive load. You cannot buy a macbook or any of it windows analogues for 800$ so what they recommended seems like a close enough analogue
How much was your laptop? Just save and build a computer? Don't waste money being impatient. And doesn't matter who you are 500-1000 is nothing to an average person living ok.
As a college student majoring in Computer Information Sciences and specializing in Cybersecurity, I can wholeheartedly say DO NOT BUY A DELL. Get an Asus Chromebook. I get 15+ hours streaming and ~24 hours idle or using Word in a single charge (which by the way takes 30 minutes to go from 0 - 100). As a student, the 3 most important things I look at are battery life, speed and weight. The battery life is great, but what about the speed? I dropped $650 on sale, and this thing is so fast! From completely off to opening my tabs in Chrome, it took 26 seconds. With 50 tabs open, I can still copy and move files at speeds of 60 MB/s. In regards to weight, it's only around 5lbs, so it fits comfortably in my bag while walking around campus. With these laptops, or even a comparable one in regards to price made by Dell, you simply don't get these features. Spend that little bit extra and get something reliable.
I spent $450 on a used Alienware 14, 4 core w/ 2.5 GHz to 3.5 GHz and 8 GB of RAM... the graphics is "ok" on 1080p. Trick is to look at the pawnshops and maybe craigslist. @Andrew_Chen My heart breaks that Windows 10 mobile didn't take off and that larger RAM isn't available in any phone... because I would have probably went with a Linux build to simulate a PC experience, in a worse case scenario. I desire the "all in one" smart phone, meant to replace basic PC builds.
"Don't buy a $400 laptop; buy a $800 one instead." (consumer advice, copyright LTT 2018, all rights reserved) Honestly should I expect anything different? It's just another example of how out-of-touch LTT is with buyers on a budget.
Sliphantom I think their advice was pretty straight forward. If you need this $400 laptop, save your money and get a $200 laptop because it's nearly the same in most meaningful aspects. If you need something stronger, you should get the $800 laptop
Edg4rAllanBro Or you get a better $400 laptop. My laptop cost around $400 way back in 2014, has 8gb of ram and an AMD A8 processor, with fairly decent performance. I've used SolidWorks a lot on it (it suffers on very large assemblies, but remais usable), as well as Matlab, and played some games. Most games from the PS3 era are playable.
He actually said, to buy the 200 dollar one instead of the 400 dollar one, because the double increase in price isn't worth it at all and he's right about that. The performance you'd expect for 50 percent more in price would be, well... at least some increase, but there was barely any. Bottom of the line is, if you want to get a cheap laptop, don't buy Lenovo. You can get pretty reliable refurbishes elsewhere on Ebay.
When you have a budget of $200 just buy an older refurbished flagship, it would have a 3rd gen i5 and 8gb of ddr3 ram. Better than a celeron and 4 gb if u ask me
This is where a lot of people are actually wrong. A newer budget processor like a celeron n4000 or pentium n5000 is a much better processor than older flagship processors. The celeron n4000 is marginally weaker than the i5-3320m (a 3rd gen i5 processor) and the Pentium n5000 matches it in some cases and absolutely destroys it in others. The older graphics in the i5 3320m are mainly what screw it over, but also there's the issue of power efficiency. Older flagship processors are built on an incredibly inefficient architecture so your laptop battery life would be garbage. Meanwhile on laptops with the celeron n4000/pentium n5000, you can push battery life of upwards of 11-12 hours depending on use. And having 8gb of RAM isn't really that important for such a weak laptop anyway because on a laptop that low in price you can't do much that would even be capable of utilizing that much RAM. Any games the processors would be capable of running are able to run just fine on 4gb which is what most Pentium and celeron laptops have nowadays. I've got an Acer Spin 1 with a pentium n4200 and 4gb of RAM and don't have a single problem running any of the applications I have installed such as Clone Hero, Skyrim, and Oxygen Not Included. I used to have a laptop with the exact specs you're recommending and it's not a very comfortable device to use. They're big, loud, and rather hot too. And also the network cards in most of the older laptops are significantly worse than the pentium and celeron laptops which usually come with a pretty good AC wifi card instead of the crappy b/g/n cards that the older laptops usually have as well. I'm speaking from personal experience here as I've had a laptop with an i5 3320m/8gb of RAM as well as a laptop with a pentium n4200/4gb of RAM and I find the Pentium n4200 to be the better processor of the two. The Pentium n5000 is the newer and more powerful brother to the Pentium n4200. I don't have hands on experience with the n5000, but I do know it's basically the same in CPU performance but it does have a better GPU as well, making it work the extra 20-30 dollars you'd spend on getting a laptop with the n5000 instead of the pentium n4200.
@@electricnick260 ok you seem good enough at this(although you could've just copy pasted this from somewhere else, but anyways). So I still can't find out what processors are better for budget laptops? I hear a lot that AMD is better at this while Intel is more on higher end stuff but Celeron and Pentium seem to be good as well. Could you help me out to figure out which one is better pick? So right now I'm looking at Pentium (N3710) and Celeron on one side and AMD A9 on the other. Which one is better for use by students?

@@electricnick260 my budget is around $300-400. I'm not in the US or Canada but I'm planning to do some studying in the UK soon. Where I live I see those models for 150$ in US to be 250$ right now. As for prices, in my general knowledge prices in UK should be somewhat similar to those in US/Canada. So if that is the case I'll wait till I get to the UK. As per processor, I think the model you suggested seems decent enough. I'm gonna add m.2 SSD and some RAM too
@@electricnick260 I checked These 3 models that you mentioned and boy we have different prices. I could only find one used one for 320$ with Intel i3 6006u, 8 gb RAM, fhd, discrepe graphics card GeForce 940 MX. I'll see what is the battery life later, but so far does it look good? I mean will it be of good use in office work for like next 2-3 years?
Agreed for basic task that most people do with a laptop these days Chromebook are great machines, but you do have to rethink your workflow and sometimes find web based alternatives, or alternatives in the Chrome webstore, but some of the ARM based Chromebooks are starting to run Android apps finally, and hopefully all newer Chromebooks will run them.
I actually think they are great if you use them for what they are. Cheap snappy laptops with incredible battery life. mine is even a convertible and I love it. I only use it for web browsing and video watching. Plus I can take it anywhere and if something happens it was cheap.
i got the 400$ laptop as a chrombook for free from my school ,can someone tell me at least 1 secondary pc usage senario where having windows is critical ? the laptop is as snappy as my full gaming rig on chrome ! and the retail price drops to 300 !
To anyone watching this and shopping around, just look for a used thinkpad from a few years ago. They’re built well, are pretty fast when new, and companies liquidate them every few years for cheap!
He meant that that 400 dollar laptop is really terrible in terms of value, and that you're better off sacrificing a tiny bit and saving 200 or pushing yourself into the next price tier for better value. I think he should have recommended a laptop in the 600 dollar range though, instead of the 800 dollar one.
"needs of local storage is becoming very limited" says the guy with a petabyte in his server room 😂😂😂 Okay lets get this straight: First I KNOW WHAT HE SAYS NEXT and watched the video till the end. Second I find this funny because Linus may not even notice the biggest problem for most of the people - they don't have a home server or anything else with lots of terabytes of storage on the network. And even if they have what will they do when they go somewhere without an access to their home network??? In my opinion the 200 dollar one is not a laptop! - its just a windows tablet with a keyboard that is very limiting. Why you may ask - because laptop to me is something that you can take and use EVERYWHERE not just around your house. And to any of the haters this time - can you install everything you need for daily use on just that 32 GB onboard? I doubt it!
+DragonSlayer420Blaze - Speedruns It depends on whether you're asking binary or decimal. One petabyte can equal 1000 terabytes when measured in decimal and 1024 terabytes when measured in binary. decimal = 1000^5 bytes binary = 1024^5 bytes
I dont really think point 3 was very helpful. 400 vs 800 is a huge difference for regular people, especially if you like me used to be low on cash and had to settle for 400-500 dollar machines. Better value is a mute point if you cant afford it.
Youlasty hahaha. i am not a fan- anything so i wouldn't even know. i avoid toxic people. even online. or completely ignore them. unless i want a laugh. 😈
for anyone in this price range ,consider refurbished laptops 2-4 generations before, high grade machines, from known manufacturers like Lenovo,Dell etc.
I bought my sister a $300-$400 laptop for her to play sims. Works fine. Theres not really a reason not to as long as youre only doing work or minimal gaming.
The issue is that it's better to buy a used laptop at that price point than a new one. I got an older IBM ThinkPad X230 last year for 130 bucks that blows away these new Inspirons.
You don't even need to buy used, end of line models from the previous years product line up can have significant discounts. You get a new laptop with manufacturers warranty. Keeping your eyes open in major airports is a good idea as well I have often seen perfectly decent models reduced to clear because they need to make space for new stock.
The trick isnt to buy either brand new or used, used laptops are always a bit of a risk since they wont be cleaned and a lot like a used car you have no idea what life the previous owner had, but buying a store demo laptop is gonna be a much better bet, I have a MSI a6000 i got in 2010 and while its a heaping pile of dog S**t today cause well 8 years old i payed 200 for a 800 laptop and well first things first 200 bucks and its still going after 8 years no upgrades and even runs 10, not great but I've seen worse performance from windows.
zachary carlson True, you dont know what the previous owner had. I bought a laptop with plenty of Trojans and viruses and his Google chrome had deebweb extensions pirate bay and all(can't remove them widows security doesnt spot them and A vast,avira and all want money for removing them) Better safe than sorry. Buy new,on sale or refurbished ones(with warranty is better)

Some universities and colleges used to supply computers to all students. I doubt they still do. They'd be more likely to provide a purchase option for a discounted one supplied by a contracted vendor.
Apparently my dad had one of these $400 laptops laying around, and when i asked my dad why he bought it and never used it, he said it was very slow. I tested it, it took about 10 minutes to get to the desktop. Luckily my old pc that i don't use anymore happened to have a 512 gig Kingston SSD inside that i used to upgrade this laptop, and now it runs super fast with boot times being 30 seconds. I also ordered more ram for it.

My grandma bought me a $500 dell laptop for my birthday awhile back when i was 7 (im 11) i kinda messed it up and got it full of junk. For Christmas of 2019 i got a chromebook. But my brother broke it. I had to use my old dell laptop that was already 8 years old (with Windows 7). I messed it up by making it laggy and crap. Acidently turning off sound. It even glitched out on accident and it took me 5 times for a hard reset to work to bring it back to life. I finally got sound back and fixed it without factory resting it. Dell is a really good brand and my mom has had the same dell laptop for 15 years. Some times its worth the price.

They look *really* ugly though. If you already have a primary desktop, I'd honestly just get a ~$100-$200 chromebook, slap a $40 SSD on it, (*optional*) replace ChromeOS with a linux distro. They perform as well/better than these laptops and they look a lot better.
EDIT: Also, Linus, "on a budget" does not mean double the price.
LMFAO THEY SENT HIM A $400 DOLLAR LAPTOP INSTEAD OF A $200 DOLLAR ONE AND HE JUST ENDS UP ROASTING IT
Anyone actually looking for a budget laptop should get on newegg in the refurbished section. You can get 4 times as much computer for 1/2 the price of the $200 laptop in this video.
confirmed ..if you don't mind or prefer windows 7 ....... and add a SSD
Yeah, that's what I did and I got a 8460p HP which has 4 gb of ram and 2 core 4 thread i5 with 2.5 ghz. THe computer is pretty good and allows me to 3D model fairly smoothly for only 150$. also it runs windows 10.
Yes, this is how I got my Thinkpad. Soooo much cheaper and might be 5 years old but dang is it fast... and sturdy.
outsider344 Especially in refurb Thinkpads... they are dope af
What you are looking for there, are last-generation laptops that are being replaced by the next generation in enterprise deployments.
If you have a budget of $400 then go for a refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad. You'll get an older generation Core i3 or i5 (which will still be better than a new Celeron, Pentium or any low end AMD A Series processor) and probably 8GB RAM. Some refurbishing companies usually shove SSDs in them which helps greatly. Those run far better than any low end new computer which in reality are just a mish-mash of leftover low end parts. You're not going to get a screen with a good viewing angle and the laptop might be a tad heavy but they're still great.
You can get such great refurbish deals on Ebay, it's amazing. I bought an Ipad, that was refurbished and it holds without a problem and also saved me more than half of the real cost, where I'm from.
What I did, got a lenovo, ssd, 8 gb ram, 11.6. Not bad viewing g angles, was 349.99, onsale 199.99
Or just go strait to used! I got a Lenovo z500 for 99 dollars, 3632QM, gt740M, 8 gigs of ram/500GB under the hood! Maxed out the RAM and replaced the drive bay with an SSD, only for an extra 80$. Now that's a deal.

200$ laptop is only worth 50$ and 800$ laptop is only worth 200$. Too costly for a shit laptop!
Problem is...many people barely have $400. HP 14 with i3 6006U and Radeon 520 should be quite decent at $400. Dell doesn't offer good budget laptop.
Just got refurbished i3-6u laptop off Dell outlet for 212 USD. At the sub-400 price point if you aren't buying used, refurbished or on clearance you are being scammed.
Dell Inspiron 5570 is a pretty solid laptop. It's between $400-$500. The only difference between the lower priced ones is they come with mechanical hard drives and an 8th gen, 4-core i5.

Yeah, I got a new Lenovo with a 840m 4gb gpu for the same price. So as you say, Dell isnt really good value.
Calle Nilsson I'm guessing you got the Lenovo Ideapad Z50-70? It has the gpu (which would cost 100-200 more on the dell) but it also only comes with a 1366x768 monitor, and 8gb max space of ram. The dell has a 1080p monitor with room for 32gb of ram and 2 extra hard drive slots (cd tray can hold an extra HD plus a slot for an m.2 HD). Unless I'm wrong and it's a different Lenovo, in which case I'd be curious to know what model.

Exactly that's the point of the video. If you only had $400 he's saying don't buy the $400 one. You aren't getting a better laptop, so why waste your money. It's like people asking questions about what kind of ethernet cable to buy. It doesn't matter, the $10 cable will do the same thing as a $50 cable.

Video name: why you shouldn't buy a $400 laptop
As a college student majoring in Computer Information Sciences and specializing in Cybersecurity, I can wholeheartedly say DO NOT BUY A DELL. Get an Asus Chromebook. I get 15+ hours streaming and ~24 hours idle or using Word in a single charge (which by the way takes 30 minutes to go from 0 - 100). As a student, the 3 most important things I look at are battery life, speed and weight. The battery life is great, but what about the speed? I dropped $650 on sale, and this thing is so fast! From completely off to opening my tabs in Chrome, it took 26 seconds. With 50 tabs open, I can still copy and move files at speeds of 60 MB/s. In regards to weight, it's only around 5lbs, so it fits comfortably in my bag while walking around campus.
With these laptops, or even a comparable one in regards to price made by Dell, you simply don't get these features. Spend that little bit extra and get something reliable.

(consumer advice, copyright LTT 2018, all rights reserved)
Honestly should I expect anything different? It's just another example of how out-of-touch LTT is with buyers on a budget.
Sliphantom I think their advice was pretty straight forward. If you need this $400 laptop, save your money and get a $200 laptop because it's nearly the same in most meaningful aspects. If you need something stronger, you should get the $800 laptop
He said don't pick the $400 over the $200...
Edg4rAllanBro Or you get a better $400 laptop. My laptop cost around $400 way back in 2014, has 8gb of ram and an AMD A8 processor, with fairly decent performance. I've used SolidWorks a lot on it (it suffers on very large assemblies, but remais usable), as well as Matlab, and played some games. Most games from the PS3 era are playable.
He said that the 800$laptop he recommended can be found with a cheaper price at 600-700$ with identical specs..
He actually said, to buy the 200 dollar one instead of the 400 dollar one, because the double increase in price isn't worth it at all and he's right about that. The performance you'd expect for 50 percent more in price would be, well... at least some increase, but there was barely any.
Bottom of the line is, if you want to get a cheap laptop, don't buy Lenovo. You can get pretty reliable refurbishes elsewhere on Ebay.

7:07 Funny background touch there Linus :)lmao
When you have a budget of $200 just buy an older refurbished flagship, it would have a 3rd gen i5 and 8gb of ddr3 ram. Better than a celeron and 4 gb if u ask me
This is where a lot of people are actually wrong. A newer budget processor like a celeron n4000 or pentium n5000 is a much better processor than older flagship processors. The celeron n4000 is marginally weaker than the i5-3320m (a 3rd gen i5 processor) and the Pentium n5000 matches it in some cases and absolutely destroys it in others. The older graphics in the i5 3320m are mainly what screw it over, but also there's the issue of power efficiency. Older flagship processors are built on an incredibly inefficient architecture so your laptop battery life would be garbage. Meanwhile on laptops with the celeron n4000/pentium n5000, you can push battery life of upwards of 11-12 hours depending on use. And having 8gb of RAM isn't really that important for such a weak laptop anyway because on a laptop that low in price you can't do much that would even be capable of utilizing that much RAM. Any games the processors would be capable of running are able to run just fine on 4gb which is what most Pentium and celeron laptops have nowadays. I've got an Acer Spin 1 with a pentium n4200 and 4gb of RAM and don't have a single problem running any of the applications I have installed such as Clone Hero, Skyrim, and Oxygen Not Included. I used to have a laptop with the exact specs you're recommending and it's not a very comfortable device to use. They're big, loud, and rather hot too. And also the network cards in most of the older laptops are significantly worse than the pentium and celeron laptops which usually come with a pretty good AC wifi card instead of the crappy b/g/n cards that the older laptops usually have as well. I'm speaking from personal experience here as I've had a laptop with an i5 3320m/8gb of RAM as well as a laptop with a pentium n4200/4gb of RAM and I find the Pentium n4200 to be the better processor of the two. The Pentium n5000 is the newer and more powerful brother to the Pentium n4200. I don't have hands on experience with the n5000, but I do know it's basically the same in CPU performance but it does have a better GPU as well, making it work the extra 20-30 dollars you'd spend on getting a laptop with the n5000 instead of the pentium n4200.
what if you live outside the US?
@@electricnick260 ok you seem good enough at this(although you could've just copy pasted this from somewhere else, but anyways). So I still can't find out what processors are better for budget laptops? I hear a lot that AMD is better at this while Intel is more on higher end stuff but Celeron and Pentium seem to be good as well. Could you help me out to figure out which one is better pick?
So right now I'm looking at Pentium (N3710) and Celeron on one side and AMD A9 on the other. Which one is better for use by students? My priorities are :
Good performance (not slow)
Battery life
And of course $$$
@@electricnick260 my budget is around $300-400. I'm not in the US or Canada but I'm planning to do some studying in the UK soon. Where I live I see those models for 150$ in US to be 250$ right now.
As for prices, in my general knowledge prices in UK should be somewhat similar to those in US/Canada. So if that is the case I'll wait till I get to the UK.
As per processor, I think the model you suggested seems decent enough. I'm gonna add m.2 SSD and some RAM too
@@electricnick260 I checked These 3 models that you mentioned and boy we have different prices. I could only find one used one for 320$ with Intel i3 6006u, 8 gb RAM, fhd, discrepe graphics card GeForce 940 MX.
I'll see what is the battery life later, but so far does it look good? I mean will it be of good use in office work for like next 2-3 years?
The Chromebook version of the 400$ laptop is extremely more stable ! It pretty much solves most of the issues even the price.
Agreed for basic task that most people do with a laptop these days Chromebook are great machines, but you do have to rethink your workflow and sometimes find web based alternatives, or alternatives in the Chrome webstore, but some of the ARM based Chromebooks are starting to run Android apps finally, and hopefully all newer Chromebooks will run them.
I actually think they are great if you use them for what they are. Cheap snappy laptops with incredible battery life. mine is even a convertible and I love it. I only use it for web browsing and video watching. Plus I can take it anywhere and if something happens it was cheap.

you either buy the $400 laptop 3 times in the time the $800 laptop will last you.
Uncle Ray if you use the $400 to swat flys, I'd agree with you
He meant that that 400 dollar laptop is really terrible in terms of value, and that you're better off sacrificing a tiny bit and saving 200 or pushing yourself into the next price tier for better value.

And even if they have what will they do when they go somewhere without an access to their home network??? In my opinion the 200 dollar one is not a laptop! - its just a windows tablet with a keyboard that is very limiting. Why you may ask - because laptop to me is something that you can take and use EVERYWHERE not just around your house. And to any of the haters this time - can you install everything you need for daily use on just that 32 GB onboard? I doubt it!
1000 terabyte. 1 terabyte is 1000 gb :)
1000 Terabytes
I mean clearly you didn't listen to the rest of the sentence xd...

It depends on whether you're asking binary or decimal. One petabyte can equal 1000 terabytes when measured in decimal and 1024 terabytes when measured in binary.
decimal = 1000^5 bytes
binary = 1024^5 bytes
1024 times the prior is actually a mEbi/gibi/tebi/peti(?)-byte, the programmers revenge on the metric system.

I died😂😂
Then why isn't he glittering?
for many people social life is social media, go out and play is not that necessary
3:05 omg Linus predicted Covid
if you're on a budget, just buy a laptop from a pawn shop, and put in an SSD.
I dont really think point 3 was very helpful. 400 vs 800 is a huge difference for regular people, especially if you like me used to be low on cash and had to settle for 400-500 dollar machines. Better value is a mute point if you cant afford it.
You can get one that’s used and sorta worn out and on Black Friday?
*moot
moooooooot

Don't recommend apple products you fucking loser
Everybody knows that building your own laptop is cheaper!!

Linux when sponsored: this thing sucks
Linux when rewievs an item that doesnt sponsored: This thing is AWSOME
2:05 Literally the specs 9f my old laptop that i had before buying a good gaming pc
3:07 bro come back inside, oh god he has airpods in he can't hear us
for anyone in this price range ,consider refurbished laptops 2-4 generations before, high grade machines, from known manufacturers like Lenovo,Dell etc.
All these years of watching all these videos I never once subscribed til NOW lol
I bought my sister a $300-$400 laptop for her to play sims. Works fine. Theres not really a reason not to as long as youre only doing work or minimal gaming.
The issue is that it's better to buy a used laptop at that price point than a new one. I got an older IBM ThinkPad X230 last year for 130 bucks that blows away these new Inspirons.
You don't even need to buy used, end of line models from the previous years product line up can have significant discounts. You get a new laptop with manufacturers warranty. Keeping your eyes open in major airports is a good idea as well I have often seen perfectly decent models reduced to clear because they need to make space for new stock.
what, thats a hell of a laptop for that money, great find
The trick isnt to buy either brand new or used, used laptops are always a bit of a risk since they wont be cleaned and a lot like a used car you have no idea what life the previous owner had, but buying a store demo laptop is gonna be a much better bet, I have a MSI a6000 i got in 2010 and while its a heaping pile of dog S**t today cause well 8 years old i payed 200 for a 800 laptop and well first things first 200 bucks and its still going after 8 years no upgrades and even runs 10, not great but I've seen worse performance from windows.
zachary carlson True, you dont know what the previous owner had. I bought a laptop with plenty of Trojans and viruses and his Google chrome had deebweb extensions pirate bay and all(can't remove them widows security doesnt spot them and A vast,avira and all want money for removing them) Better safe than sorry. Buy new,on sale or refurbished ones(with warranty is better)
i got an e6430 with i5, 8gb ram, and 256gb hard drive for $150
When you need to go out into the real world😂
ZerO Cryptic god forbid
Would love to see an update to this video, and a comparo of the usability of a $400 Windows laptop vs. a $400 chromebook...
Linux would work perfectly lmao, so yeah- chromebook would work smoothly
I agree on the concept of cheap laptops for on the go, and save your money for your home unit.
