I'm not going cutting edge or anything like that. Its dinosaur to another semi dinosaur.
My current laptop,11.6 in screen, i3 2357m (2nd gen i3, we are now on 8th gen). Its a decent laptop with a 500gb SSD, 4gb DDR3 RAM. It does what i need but lately something is wrong. Possible HD failure or laptop. Only short coming was the 13xx X 7xx resolution and the 2hour battery life. Its a perfect garage laptop for music, surfing, torrents and other daily things. It also ran all-data, techstream, vagcom very well.
I would like to budget maybe $300 on a used laptop, only requirement would be 1920x1080, 4hour battery life and WIN 7. Smaller and lighter the better but i dont mind it. Would like to have a USB3 port to make moving files faster but not a must.
Couple people have mentioned to look into used Dell latitutes and some Thinkpads.
