Cheap ass laptop - will it run?
I throw a laptop in my tractors for field records (and sometimes CP browsing). The ones I have are tired and frankly about done.
I found these refurbished Surface Gos that are pretty cost efficient. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...WY9YG17N0&th=1 I think it will work, but I haven't paid any attention to any hardware specs at all in a long time. Years ago when Chromebooks came out, they wouldn't run Office. I'm not needing anything crazy, just some excel sheets and dropbox. I am using Office 360 so it should be pretty low impact. What do you guys think? |

Those are typically pretty durable laptops. I've got a an X1 from 2018 that refuses to die.

It isn't that hard to swap out the display, though it could just be the connector got loose.
