      Chromebooks were made for students for the most part and i am right they were even comming with a matlab free version and allowance as long as you could give your student pass codes.But more than half of students payed for something they couldn't use at its best,any student that won't run any animation or photo and video lab program(like Photoshop and film lab)could do their job with a Lenovo yoga book that on a much cheaper it focuses on the most important needs of a student(unlike chromabook)such as taking notes,having multitasking capability for youtube and secondary tanks like word.
      Honestly.Chromabook was for the demanding students,students just went with the guaranteed option(i dont blame them).

      I do like my school's C740s better than my personal Samsung Chromebook 3 (being able to run 1080p video without stuttering is nice) but there are compromises, such as a fairly assy trackpad and not being able to fold the sceen out to 180 degrees.

    You get an i5, normally 4-8gb ram, the best laptop keyboard about, and the durability of a freakin rock, even if it's a little chunky by todays standards, it's smaller than the used laptop in this video. Personally I have an x230t which has full touchscreen and an ips panel, the regular x230 can be had under the $200 budget easily.

      @@drnsells3036 If you need a decent machine for longer periods of work e.g. database or CRM it's a good laptop. I also use it for rendering videos on Premier pro as well but only short ones like 4 - 10 minutes. Since there's no dedicated graphics chip you can only play games up to 2013 with medium settings or those that don't demand higher specs. The Core i5-3320M processor on this laptop works okay. It doesn't feel like you're having to wait for apps to open. Make sure you don't have any bloatware installed though. Also, I've doubled the RAM on mine to 8GB obviously since most of my work is on Google Chrome and everybody knows Chrome is a RAM eater. If you're tight on budget like I am and need something for light to medium work loads, then this is a dependable machine. The $140-210 price is good but don't pay anything more than that. Cheers!

      I used a quad core processor, the SR20X, and the AMD GPU inside was amazing, I overclocked it hard until it finally died one day, but if you're more conservative and consider the cooling ability of the laptop by not putting very hot processors inside, you'll have a brick that's indestructible if you accidentally drop it, a perfect sized panel (not as big as a 15, but don't have to squint like a 13). I played loads of games on it and I can attest that while the GPU worked, it *worked*.
      Ignore the battery life as well. I received this laptop as a lab machine, and having the hotswap batteries for long road trips and batteries from other HP laptops is great. I have two 100Wh batteries from a ProBook 6570b and that thing would last decades when playing GameCube games.

    In 200$,the best one you got is the older one.why? Because (from a PC guy perspective) the old guys are good whenever you are attempting to use'em.Dozens of ports,a frickin' sata input(if you get the DVD drive out) and being so cool with the old school style.

    One big advantage for the Elitebook is the docking station feature, I use it with my E5420 on a day to day basis and it is absolutely fine! I did upgrade mine with a 240GB SSD, still holds up pretty nicely! 3583 in CPU Mark, around an i3 6100U or Pentium G4400

    I bought a ~$350 (¥39,420) ASUS C101pa Chromebook. It has a Rockchip RK3399 ARM hexacore CPU (ARM). It has Android app functionality and it's very responsive. One thing I did with it was install Crouton, which lets you install Ubuntu Xfce and use a functioning desktop. It's totally worth it in my opinion!

    Nice to see used as an alternative shown off, and especially nice to see the Elitebook. I got one with a second gen i7 and dedicated graphics for just over $100, and upgraded the cpu (yes, a laptop with a socketed cpu). Imo, as long as you don't care too much about having something thin and light, it's a much better option for price/performance.

    Got the EliteBook 2570p. It's the 12.5" version of what he presented here. Paid around $230 for it with a Windows 10 license (I run linux mostly, but I need Windows for office stuff and I was getting 3 years warranty if I got a Windows license). Threw in a SSD and another 8 GB of RAM so it has 12 in total. Also replaced the optical drive with a drive caddy. It weighs only about 1.6 kg and the only real disadvantage is the battery life. Otherwise, it's really serviceable - this series actually has a socketed CPU, and the back cover just opens right away. All service information can be found on the HP website - along with videos showing how to do it, I was kinda surprised. Had it for 6 months now and to be honest, I kinda love it.

    I have a Chromebook 15 and a refurbished Elitebook with Windows 10 (8GB ram with a 100GB SSD). I use both equally. I prefer my Chromebook for serious movie watching like Netflix because it has a full 1080p screen which is gorgeous. I use my Elitebook for basic web browsing and RUclips. I also got a cheap external DVD drive with it, which works well too (I can't do that with my Chromebook). Mostly I use my Elitebook for when I need to use physical media/burn CDs or DVDs. I got both for about $200-250 each. I will say that my Chromebook does have better Wi-FI and monitor tech and battery life, while the Elitebook has better sound tech (HD audio, which sounds much better with headphones) and access to different browsers other than Chrome, and other installed software like Itunes. My Elitebook also has that cool retro Windows 7 sticker on it, so there's that too! My verdict is to get both!

      As a college student who personally loves Chrome OS, if you have a science or engineering major, prepare to get a second computer or don't bother with a Chromebook. They're *fantastic* for lightweight tasks, but unless you *really* wanna start digging around under the hood, just get a used old computer and throw a lightweight linux distro on to get a little bit more performance out of it.

    I found a Lenovo ThinkPad T430s for $170 at a shop about an our away from where I live. Has a core i7 3520m at 2.9 gHz, 8 gigs of ram and a 120GB SSD, and all the IO I'll ever need, with 3 USB 3.0, VGA, full size SD card reader, ethernet, thunderbolt 2, and a DVD drive. What amazed me is that this laptop is from 2012, so I looked at how much a 2012 MacBook Pro and it costs $400-500 for an i5, 4GB of ram, and a 500GB mechanical hard drive.
