the cheapest laptop u can walk in and buy is $180 for a 4gb ram celeron chromebook. or $140 for a shitter 768p screen.

For this price or less you can get a 5-10 year old laptop that's WAY better than these. Plenty of used laptops out there from businesses and stuff. Seems stupid to buy one of these.

On the other hand it's nice to just walk in and get a clean pristine brand new device, esp. with chrome os since windows is NOT very idiot friendly. They are also a lot more power efficient (handheld grade hardware in a laptop body) so good battery life (old laptops will have poor battery life) and no fan noise

@lamp i bought my laptop used for $140 and it's pretty nice. battery gets the job done well enough! i hate chromebooks, would rather use a craptop from 2012 with vista on it.
