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.

Dell Outlet has some smoking deals every once in a while.
I've purchase 3 of the XPS 13" there over the years. Excellent laptops. https://outlet.us.dell.com/GDOOnline...1&brandid=2801 |

You can find deals. I'm not big on the touch screens and used a Dell Latitude 5421 at work for the last few years. Picked up one on fleaBay for $235 with Win11 Pro. I5-11400H, 32GB Ram, 512GB SSD, 14" screen. Seems like a good replacement for my old tower Phenom II X6 system.
