400$ Cheap laptop for taking notes + light gaming

I mean sure, Are there that many old thinkpads that won't break my back carrying to class + with a decent battery. the note taking is more my requirement.

How about i dont look like a fucktard carrying that to a class of people who literally talk shit on apple 24/7

*throttles*

Playing games is better than sucking cocks.
X230/240 is pretty light.

Xseries is pretty light and the keyboard is one of the best there is.

imagine being angry at a brand of computers

Name a better combo

Poor people are not allowed here

For uni and playing simple games just get a thinkpad with integrated graphics. 2nd hand it's like 150 dollars and will do everything you need except play triple A games that you should be reserving for your time at home with your desktop.

Better combo would be not going to university at all

Holy shit are you me?

hahaha kill yourself

If you’re going to be wanting to carry your computer to classes, coffee shops, libraries, study spots, gaming at friends places, I would recommend dropping around 1200-1400 on a strong laptop.
The 400 poor man rigs made by Dell and Lenovo and the like, are fine but they don’t hold up to the strenuous nature of a college mans laptop. And they become kinda slow and outdated maybe 2 years after you buy and you want the thing to at least last you all 4 years. And hopefully a few past Uni into your grad school or working life.

If you buy that 500 dollar rig, I bet my left nut you’ll find yourself buying another computer in 1-2 years because it’s broken, glitched, stopped working, or just not quality parts. And realizing your cost of ownership would be better anyway investing in a quality machine, and taking damn good care of it for 5 years.

It's a laptop for taking notes. An used thinkpad is more than enough for that.

For any decent college student in a reasonable program (STEM or even the mainly writing intensive majors) you’ll be doing a whole lot more on the thing than “taking notes”.
Most good note taking is handwritten, or self drawn figures, flowcharts, diagrams, to generate actual learning.
Not just mindlessly typing words like a court stenographer.

Plus I’m sure he wants the thing for entertainment, gaming or otherwise. As OP stated.

That's what the desktop is for.

Ohh this is all predicated on the understanding OP has a working and relatively current DeSKtOp Computkr? Ohh

In that case just kysses for you college lad. Buy a laptop like the other instathots that helped drag down the quality of your academic department.

How about you kys fucking retard? Let people enjoy their free time however they want.

He probably has a kid and is jealous that someone else gets to buy shit for themselves.

Games are for children

This is the one true combo to show your peers that you arent a poorfag

Cope harder. Into the filter you go

Uhh user someone else is coping

The person coping is the gayming /v/edditor that gets butthurt when someone says gaming is for children.

its thinkings man notation. you have to look at it thinking. $10 is an expression, just like in math you have a=xy or a=x*y. here we have money=$*10. only brainlet would not get it

you're coping by filtering someone. If you won the arguement you wouldn't need to block a user

rude

10 * $
absolute state

You can make good money sucking cocks.

letters, just like laddies, go first. it just shows how childish you are. you have to be more gentle to them

>$200 used T420 with battery upgrade for taking notes
>$500 desktop for playing games + other demanding tasks

You don't need a $1500 desktop to play your Vidya. Your probably already in debt from going to University. Do your self a favour and not dig deeper

$500 hardly covers a monitor for a desktop, you may as well not buy one at all and use the laptop.

I'm not the original poster and I throw everything tripfag into the filter especially that guy. He keeps making new trips and he posts garbage 99.99% of the time

Ignoring whatever autism attack you just had there;
An x250 or T450s is excellent for doing basically anything besides gayming or heavy compute/3D tasks. OP would get much better value for the money spending $350 on a quality used twinkpad and whatever his budget allows on a desktop gayming PC.

You give up so much by getting a "gaming" laptop and only gain some portability. Plus, at school your primary focus shouldn't be "how can I maximize my video game time" - you can play video games just fine without blowing tens of thousands on tuition.

Nigga where the fuck do you live

This. I got through college on a tricore $120 Acer and a

In the US.
High refresh rate WQHD monitors with gsync aren't cheap lad.
If I wasn't working retail I would probably already have a 4k HDR 120+Hz display.

This is true, and why I opted for an IPS 60hz 1440p display - I just don't play enough games and appreciate the image quality more.
That said, the dude is going to college. Unless you manage to score scholarships and a good work/study arrangement, you're going to be part of the 95% of students that are living as cheaply as possible.

$1100 decently specced laptop for both

My appreciation for image quality makes me completely unable to go back to 60Hz monitors, its a choppy mess even for regular desktop use.

The absolute bare minimum I would be willing to spend on a monitor is around $250 for a 1080p gsync setup.

chromebook for university (You get free storage space on google drive as well)
And gaming pc for home.

>1500$
What the fuck

It's really down to personal preference. I used my friend's 144hz 1080p TN display here and there, and while it is butter smooth, the larger resolution/size of 1440p and better picture of IPS won me over.

>uni provided PC for uni
>whatever $200 laptop for home

You are in the minority, blind tests show that upwards of 90% of people prefer higher refresh rate when they are exposed to them side by side.

I spend most of my time looking at text and images, which doesn't really benefit from refresh rate.

If I played games with any sort of regularity, 1080p 144hz would be vastly superior to 60hz 1440p.

Used thinkpad with gnu/linux. No desktop required, gaming is for children.
