I bought an Acer Chromebook 14 last year and for 200-something euros it was an absolute beast for general Internet and Netflix tasks. However, Google Docs is absolute shit, and I need to switch to a Windows machine for proper MS Office.

Why are all the displays/screens on laptops so shit? My budget is ~€800 and it's impossible to find any basic-bitch laptop with a good screen.

Are there any 'budget' Windows laptops with a good screen?

You need constant entertainment huh? No serious thoughts about life hmm? Ever wonder why the world is such a hellish dream? I bet not.

It's the people that think too much about life that need the distraction of constant entertainment bro.

Fuck the distractions! We have work to do! Who do you think contrived all these perfect little programs? They're all having some effect. Look at the state of Mankind. We need intelligent like minded people to wake and save the human race. Break free from your confinements.

There's hope for you yet, depending on what you are of course.

I do have work to do. In MS Office! Give me good recommendations for a cheap Windows laptop with a good screen and keyboard.

ok, I'll have a look

Artificial market segmentation to upsell people into higher end models than they would otherwise buy.

Can you install Linux on these things? Jow ForumsChromebook (I hate Reddit, for the record) says no.

No

Reddit/Plebbit always says you can't because there is some special firmware that prevents Linux from being put on it.
