There is too much talking on this list, and not enough action. Consider Lenovo T450 for $330: <https://www.newegg.ca/p/N82E16834847377?Item=N82E16834847377> I bought one last year, better spec at lower price. I think they made mistake when converting US$ to CAN$. -- William Park <opengeometry@yahoo.ca> On Sun, Jul 14, 2019 at 11:18:13PM -0400, Alex Beamish via talk wrote:
Greetings,
My Windows 10 laptop died pretty close to its fifth birthday, so I'm planning on replacing it with a Linux laptop. I've used it for conference calls (hosting the Toronto Perlmongers meeings), and some light Libre Office work, so I need something better than a Bare Bones laptop, but not as wicked as a big fat gamer's rig.
Refurbished is OK, and pre-loaded with Linux is also fine. Budget is perhaps $600-$800.
Thanks!
