some machines are built crappy

i got a 130W compatible Lattitude charger and battery for my Inspirion N5110 for 25 bucks combined

Around $50-60 together I think. But the device has other problems. Doesn't cry to the internet properly...

thats dell for you

yeah mine crys properly

i have a dell mobo in my main pc and it is the most tempermental thing there is

So what do you suggest? Hp?

yeah

i wanna say build your own but obv not gonna work for laptops

i mean u could

thinkpads are also really good

or just get a nuc

like REALLY good if you get a nice one

😂 😂 😂
I meant connect.
Damn autocorrect

it depends

lol ur fine

definitly, there are some shet models

i have a lenoto t400 from 2008 and it still has the original battery which works great and it runs windows 7 fine

*lenovo

but i do think an hp would prob be urbest bet

hp, i never used one but i know a friend has one, something amd a9, it works alright, but pretty toasty if you play minecraft on it

it runs hotter then my decade old dell

Thanks guys! Any suggestions are appreciated!

Don't plan on gaming at all. Maybe some light photo editing down the road.

he edits video on it with only a few problems, and its like the worst model that HP offers, so if you got a better one it will edit photos with 0 trouble

yeah if u plan on doing simple tasks go for a middle end laptop

yep if you can't handle the weight of an older lapto

bcuz for basic stuff a oldie with 8gb ram + ssd with new battery = beast

The main thing right now is Zoom. With these 15 days to spread the curve or whatever BS never ending... Zoom is the main priority now

yeah go for a mid line laptop from hp and u will be fine

so you want a laptop with a good webcam and mic? or do you go external

Yeah, I guess that would need to be considered...

yeah, whatever you get lookup reveiws of it, and its webcam quality

even in 2020 theres still crap like 480p potatocams

2021 i mean <:KEK:795742276549607456>

but a repeat of 2020

Another issue is these ppl don't want internet in their home in the first place. But she's a teacher and needs to do class by Zoom so they are using Optimum Free Hotspot which is really not so reliable...

Using a *what?*

😂

but for laptops, make sure whatever it is has 8gb of ram, and an ssd

that will be the two biggest factors for a speedy laptop for light work
