Garage laptop time

[LazyDog]

Hola everyone,

My old notebook computer that I only used in the garage when working on cars for internet searches, pictures, PDF files.
It finally broke, I need a new to me use since I see no need for a new computer: I play no games on it. The only other used if I can save some money an buy
a 2 channel scope later on. I like to stay w/ windows 10 or even 7. My last computer was bought at new egg many years ago.

Where do you guys like to buy your stuff.

Thanks for all ideas.

I like the Dell Latitude you linked. A few years ago I bought a refurbished Latitude off eBay for about that same price with less specs. Still running great. Solid computer.

I would buy a Chromebook. Faster than computers twice their cost. I love my Chromie.
Costco has several for $350; screen sizes from 14" to 17".

If you want a Windows machine, for Office ot whatever, Costco has a 14" Lenovo Flex for $400. Solid machine.

It comes w/ windows 11 and it might not work w/ an older software from Pico Scope.

I'd buy a used desktop off ebay. Many of the refurb/resellers include Windows with them. It's amazing how little power one needs if you're not doing HD video or games. If you weren't attached to Windows a $40 Raspberry Pi would be perfect.

I'm a bit biased, but if you really want a notebook and don't want to spend a ton, look to eBay for an HP Elitebook. I have 2: a 17" 8730w at home and a 14" 8440p as my toolbox machine.

The Elitebook range was HP's premier offering for years, and the build quality shows.

Plenty of laptops, deals to be had

Also, search for "dayton" and view donated cars and trucks for auction
