RE: Looking for a new laptop... Suggestions?

in #blog7 years ago

My two cents is to install Manjaro or Ubuntu Linux on it. It's amazing how fast a slow computer can become with Linux. Could save you some time and money. I personally blog using a Dell Inspiron 15 with an old i3 using Manjaro KDE, works just fine for me.

really? I just read this msg now, you could have saved me 1064.879USD! =D

I love Dell, but the one I like will cost me a fortune in the Philippines lol.. I am broke now! haha
how much the latest price of the dell you have now?

I think I paid $300 three years ago. In windows it's slower than molasses but with Linux ide consider it at least equivalent to an i5 laptop in windows. If you have the old laptop still ide throw it on and out the old laptop to use as well.

wow that's cheap!

i don't know much about the the processor technicalities... as long as it's core i5 up...
the one I got now is core i5, 7th gen... which is pretty fast for blogging and web browsing.

What do you do for living? Are you an IT?
