Current Events > Best laptop brand?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Is its till Acer?
I'm looking to get a new one for $500 or less.
The bottom corner of the screen has been coming apart, and been duct taped for the past 2 years.
And now the port for the plug is barely detecting when its plugged in, I have to play with it alot to get it to charge.
And I got a new ac adpater and same problem.
Got this laptop 3 years ago, it was this one.

Run your credit card up and don't pay the bill. Society's about to collapse anyway

Btw, do most laptops have a 2nd slot for a hdd?
Like the one I want to replace, has the 256 ssd, but also has a 512 hdd in it.

I'm a fan of ASUS but it's been a long time since i've had a laptop

What do you use your laptop for?

Honestly with your stimulus check coming you might be better off getting an iPad if it's just for web use/Youtube.

I had an asus before this, I could give them another shot. Tho half the screen started glitchin out near the end.
I can't do tablets man, I'm 35 and too used to laptops.
I want one for internet, videos, mostly older gaming (emulation), I like a good amount of space since I have games usually, alooot of music, vids (Tho I have quite a few backup hdds now) ,video editing, etc.

I bought a refurbed MacBook Air a few years back just for Youtube/browsing on the couch and it still runs like butter to this day.

They're a little more than $500, but like I said with your Trumpbucks it's only gonna be like $700 or so

Asus has always been the most reliable brand for me

Dell laptops have always had shoddy keyboards, and HPs have a nasty overheating problem

For lower price ranges, you could also look into refurbished ThinkPads

Toshiba

I have an ASUS from 2012 and its still works fine.

I had a compaq back in 2010 (they still make those?) and it refused to boot unless i overheat it, no kidding

---

Apple

Me and my brother have been using Asus ROG laptops for almost a decade and never had any problems. Only time we switched them out was cause the hardware was getting outdated.

IDK, but the Lenovo Flex 14 I bought last year was one helluva bang for buck. All for a low price of $671 CAD.

Nearly a 10/10 except for that battery life.

It got bought out by HP, then discontinued a few years later.

Thinking of probably going with this one.

---

That one's not bad, but you get a lot better than an MX 250 at that price range.

I've had good luck with Asus. They used to be rated more reliable than MacBooks but I don't know how they are now.

I ended up going with this, cause the price was more what I was looking for.
