How do I find those? I seem to remember being talked out of buying something like this a few months ago

EDIT: Oh never mind, I see the links

basically a strong DO NOT BUY because of the processor

> Intel Celeron N2930 1.83GHz (Burst up to 2.16GHz)

it’s not for gaming but it’s adequate for doing some work on it. we bought one of these without the SSD a couple years ago and it’s been a handy computer to have and use.

7

Celeron chip? HD is a spinner? No thank you.

How’s the Lenovo brand regarding reliability? My cousin bought a Lenovo laptop and a USB port went out on him right out of warranty.

8

It’s useful for a remote desktop situation, VNC, CITRIX, etc.

Lightweight Linux also works great on these chips.

I had one non-battery problem with a Lenovo non-ThinkPad Black Friday special (mostly my heavy battery use and replaced under warranty) when the keyboard started acting up (6 years later). It’s still on the shelf (keyboard is intermittent and I am too lazy to seek out a replacement for fear it is on the main board and I wasted my money).

I had the webcam go out on a Dell (also too lazy to fix).

So I don’t really see much difference between Dell & Lenovo in my personal sample of ~10 combined over the years. But, knock on wood, I haven’t seen any real (non-battery life) failures of the two ACER chromebooks and the ASUS laptop.

I have one from a past sale. I increased the RAM to 8GB and added an SSD.

I like the form factor, and despite it being heavy I take it when I travel.

I don’t game, I only do work, or admin systems, or web surfing.

It plays my 1080p movies just fine on flights.

10

This is a netbook, not an ultrabook. Ultrabooks have SSD’s.

11

We picked up two during the last sale for point-of-sale systems for our business.

Perky enough for that. I do plan to replace the HD with an SSD at some point.

They did not come looking like they’d been stomped by camels or anything, everything was just fine.

(After I pulled my head out of my butt and realized the Win10 license was taped to the bottom of the machine, that is.)

12

I see this would at least be good enough for the kids to do homework and watch YouTube on; while it’s not for hardcore gaming, would it at least be able to handle Roblox or Minecraft?

13

Unless you need/want a convertible you can get a similar aged Dell Latitude 3340 with an i5 4200U for 20 bucks less and get free shipping and no tax if you aren’t in Arizona and a 15 day free return period.

Not as large of a harddrive but who cares. I bought mine last Monday night and had it by Thursday. For 80 bucks more I added 4 gigs of ram and a 120 gig ssd. You’ll get much better performance from the Dell then this woot. With the added ram and ssd I get a Passmark score in the 52th Percentile which is pretty remarkable for a 200 dollar machine. Even though it’s not listed mine also is a touch screen.

14

Thanks for the info. Both Dell and Lenovo share a lot in common with Neato robots - they fail and end up as refurbs at some discounter or Amazon. I have a Dell desktop and laptop and it is excellent in all respects.

I’ve looked at ASUS and ACER but am not interested in Chromebooks. Hate WIN 10 too. What to do!

15

I use one of these every day as my primary computer as a grad student. The winning setup is an SSD, 8GB of RAM and Linux. Excellent traveler, low wattage CPU helps immensely with battery life. I code, write documents and make presentations, browse the web, and stream music and video. Even with the cost of upgrades it’s still pretty cheap. Never going to be a computing workhorse, and I use a desktop for more serious tasks. It is a good laptop for the right use case.

We recently got a new Inventory Management system at our retail stores and would like something mobile to take down the aisles and scan inventory.

Inventory system is web-based and we’d only need to plug in a USB barcode reader and maybe print from it.

This should be more than sufficient to handle those tasks for a couple years, right?

17

It should be more than adequate.

18

I second this. I use one of these in the exact same situation,although mine came with an SSD. My son,a wheelchair user, is making it through Cornell University using this as his primary computer (I think his is a 2nd generation with an i5 derivative chip). Some serious coding there. All told my family has 5 of these. They are surviving middle school, high school, college, a nd grad school. 8 Gb and an SSD and they are indestructible.

Wait- is this your car?

Got mine today. The computer works fine; the kids are happily playing Roblox.

But when they say “scratch and dent,” they really mean it.

ETA: Neither the microphone nor the camera are working. I’ve emailed support, who sent a link to the latest drivers. The mic driver SEEMED to install, but it’s still not recognized. When I try to install the camera driver, I receive an error that says, “Cannot find the device. Abort install!”

The camera is not present in the Device manager. If I didn’t need the mic or camera, this would be a good little notebook. We’ll if we can get this resolved.

ETA 2: Support is claiming this does not have a webcam, despite the specs page listing it having a 720P camera. Still haven’t addressed the broken microphone.

ETA 3: Finally convinced them this should have a working camera, am now RMA’ing and will be without for however long it takes for this thing to get back via UPS ground and for them to ship out something else.
