Topic: Buying advice needed. Laptop, netbook or tablet?

Anonymous A started this discussion 14 years ago #16,691

I want the most bang for my buck, long battery life and the option to use 3g data. I don't know if I should go for a notebook, netbook or a tablet. I just want to use the net, do some light office usage and play some games. I got about $500 to spend. What would you buy?

@previous (A)
the 32 gb version is $600 including docking, the 64 gb version doesn't come with docking and costs $600, you can buy the dock separately for $100.
Also i'm in europe so i'm not sure if these prices are correct

Get a chromebook
lol
for $500 you could probably get some refurbished yet decent laptop/netbook. Or a new laptop/netbook yet shitty brand.
Fuck tablets.

I spent $894 getting a customized laptop from Sony. Come at me.

Why would you recommend a Chrome book? ._.

Carebear replied with this 14 years ago, 1 minute later, 11 hours after the original post[^] [v] #285,903

@previous (Anorak !HFvB2cixM.)
because the budget is like $500
Skip straight to the good stuff
Skip the waiting. Forget the set-up. Leave the manuals behind. Go straight online to creating, sharing and enjoying. Because everything is faster and easier on a Chromebook.
