My girlfriend wants a cheap laptop to "watch movies and browse the internet"

Thinkpad X1
Make sure to get the version with the touch function keys

Linus said it's the gateway of Linux to the Desktop.

(the true Linus, not the fake one)

maybe tell her to wait until mobile gpus get av1

Anything with a good screen

This, especially if she specified movies as one of the main items. Not to mention unlike men women spend most of their time browsing the internet looking at photos and videos of whatever cooking, animal, fashion and makeup bullshit they're into. A good screen is priority #1, anything made with modern specs will be able to do basic browsing just fine.

A thinkpad and gentoo linux

>acer

Its what I looked for when buying my multimedia laptop, sold the xps 15 recently tho now looking for something cheaper but same purpose

a PS4.

its been fine for me in basically daily use for ~3 yrs now. post something better then

i had two acer laptops and they both literally fell apart

this was back in like 2010 though

yeah everybody should know by now that acer is literally lowest quality chinkshit device you can get

im reccomending HP and DELL to her as ive had good experiences with them. Does Jow Forums approve ?

this. imagine watching movies on a non-retina display that is smaller than 15''. then imagine navigating the web with a non-force touch trackpad. imagine reading things online with text that isn't crisp as fuck. imagine windows updating randomly. imagine trying to do things with a loud ass fan whirring in the background. actually don't imagine it you'll have nightmares

Thinkpad T60. Can't watch movies without a DVD drive.

xps is better value tho and comes as close to it as any windows machine

>the true Linus, not the fake one
so the one that makes the YouTube videos said that?

iPad

you cant answer emails on a table, obviously what he is asking for is a general use media laptop

Post your gf so I can pick a laptop that will look good with her

AIDS and so should you.

>watch movies and browse the internet
Definitely a Chromebook.

macbook pro

Imagine having a touchbar

iPad.

>talking about a MacBook
>complaining about Windows updating randomly
UwutM8?

What makes chromebooks good?

cheap, light, good battery, and decent screens for the price

What you just said makes no sense, I would assume that a woman would as likely be an epic gamer as much as anyone else

Thinkpad+fedora

but they make you look poor and women dont like that

>What should she get?
back in the kitchen where she belongs am i right fellow memers?

Repelling golddiggers is a feature. If you have good looks and confidence women will bang you even if you are poor. The stereotype of bored cougars fucking pool boys and gardeners exists for a reason.

Any mid range offering from HP, Acer, Dell, or maybe Lenovo.

Prestigio SmartBook 133S

thinkpad + openbsd good

Yeah like guys are into cooking video, make up and so on as anyone else
Good point

Good screen and needs to be light. Girls don't like heavy thick laptop.
Second hand MacBook air is the patrician choice for Qt girlfriend laptop.

a kitchen

Any =

Not memeing Thinkpad x250 with 1080p or larger plus Ubuntu
