So I know the general consensus of what I've seen on Jow Forums has been mainly positive towards ThinkPads, but what about the more affordable IdeaPads? Are they also good or are they worthless. Thinking of buying the one in the pic because I'm poor and can't pay over 1k for a new ThinkPad.
IdeaPads?

No. Don't do it dawg.
Ian Flores
Are there any good (4gb ram, maybe 500gb memory) below $500 laptops that I can find?
Xavier Harris
What's your use case? Of course Thinkpad would be the obvious choice but maybe check out Chromebooks.
Brody Brown
Good point, thanks user. I'll check out ChromeBooks.
Daniel James
There are ThinkPad Chromebooks, you know.
Dominic Perry
Why would they be good?
It's garbage like all other cheap laptops.
Yeah, you can get a CPU and some RAM for under $500.
But the chassis will be cheap plastic and break within 2 years, and the screen, keyboard and trackpad will be terrible.
Either buy a second hand laptop or save up for something that will last longer and bring you more joy.
