The out-of-focus Linus at 7:07 trying to use "Hello" on the $400 laptop while emphasizing the practicality of it in the more expensive one.

Tip, a used Thinkpad + SSD is about the most bang for the buck laptop you can get. Hell, a used T420 with an SSD would blow that thing out of the water whilst being even cheaper.

My grandma bought me a $500 dell laptop for my birthday awhile back when i was 7 (im 11) i kinda messed it up and got it full of junk. For Christmas of 2019 i got a chromebook. But my brother broke it. I had to use my old dell laptop that was already 8 years old (with Windows 7). I messed it up by making it laggy and crap. Acidently turning off sound. It even glitched out on accident and it took me 5 times for a hard reset to work to bring it back to life. I finally got sound back and fixed it without factory resting it. Dell is a really good brand and my mom has had the same dell laptop for 15 years. Some times its worth the price.

Listening to him speak about projector, hears 2000 dollars “Ok bye”...

I bought a DELL Inspiron 3537 for my dad five years ago for 420$, I upgraded it with a SSD and 4GB of RAM more (60 bucks total), and five years later, is still doing fine. Not everyone needs 2k, 1.5k or even a 800$ laptop.

Exactly that's the point of the video. If you only had $400 he's saying don't buy the $400 one. You aren't getting a better laptop, so why waste your money. It's like people asking questions about what kind of ethernet cable to buy. It doesn't matter, the $10 cable will do the same thing as a $50 cable. Will literally last forever, and if it doesn't, you can just buy another $10 cable.

If you have a budget of $400 then go for a refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad. You'll get an older generation Core i3 or i5 (which will still be better than a new Celeron, Pentium or any low end AMD A Series processor) and probably 8GB RAM. Some refurbishing companies usually shove SSDs in them which helps greatly. Those run far better than any low end new computer which in reality are just a mish-mash of leftover low end parts. You're not going to get a screen with a good viewing angle and the laptop might be a tad heavy but they're still great.

The dell has a 1080p monitor with room for 32gb of ram and 2 extra hard drive slots (cd tray can hold an extra HD plus a slot for an m.2 HD).

@electricnick260

4 жыл бұрын

This is where a lot of people are actually wrong. A newer budget processor like a celeron n4000 or pentium n5000 is a much better processor than older flagship processors. The celeron n4000 is marginally weaker than the i5-3320m (a 3rd gen i5 processor) and the Pentium n5000 matches it in some cases and absolutely destroys it in others. The older graphics in the i5 3320m are mainly what screw it over, but also there's the issue of power efficiency. Older flagship processors are built on an incredibly inefficient architecture so your laptop battery life would be garbage. Meanwhile on laptops with the celeron n4000/pentium n5000, you can push battery life of upwards of 11-12 hours depending on use. And having 8gb of RAM isn't really that important for such a weak laptop anyway because on a laptop that low in price you can't do much that would even be capable of utilizing that much RAM. Any games the processors would be capable of running are able to run just fine on 4gb which is what most Pentium and celeron laptops have nowadays. I've got an Acer Spin 1 with a pentium n4200 and 4gb of RAM and don't have a single problem running any of the applications I have installed such as Clone Hero, Skyrim, and Oxygen Not Included. I used to have a laptop with the exact specs you're recommending and it's not a very comfortable device to use. They're big, loud, and rather hot too. And also the network cards in most of the older laptops are significantly worse than the pentium and celeron laptops which usually come with a pretty good AC wifi card instead of the crappy b/g/n cards that the older laptops usually have as well. I'm speaking from personal experience here as I've had a laptop with an i5 3320m/8gb of RAM as well as a laptop with a pentium n4200/4gb of RAM and I find the Pentium n4200 to be the better processor of the two. The Pentium n5000 is the newer and more powerful brother to the Pentium n4200. I don't have hands on experience with the n5000, but I do know it's basically the same in CPU performance but it does have a better GPU as well, making it work the extra 20-30 dollars you'd spend on getting a laptop with the n5000 instead of the pentium n4200.

I sent it with a friend recently, along with a Blue Snowball mic, to do voice-over work in Vegas. He came back and had the audio files on the machine and they were perfectly fine. They're a compromise, but for $180 they're a really great deal. Best part: if it's lost, stolen, or smashed, you're only out $180 instead of $800. If I'm spending $800 on a laptop, I'm avoiding those dinky stupid touchscreen units at all costs; I'd rather have a nice big screen, backlit keyboard, good CPU, and option to upgrade to an SSD and IPS LCD panel.
