Web surfing Laptop under 200$

[S1L3nT]

Title says, I just want basic laptop that I can surf only web, watch youtube at 360p, check mails, and write some in ms office 2007. I need it to be as small as possible cuz I want for traveling but I can't afford 1000$ to buy macbook air or some ultrabook. Maybe an asus Eee pc would be fine with upgraded 2gb memory but I think it won't be enough? I'm talking ordering a laptop on ebay under 200$. Or is it better to get an old macbook with c2d 2gb ram ? Any better possible laptop that can be under 200$ on ebay used?

I would say to get a Chromebook, but you need office. Are you OK with using Google Drive instead?

I would say a Chrome book maybe but then youre going to be limited to only using Google Docs and you wouldnt be able to use MS Office.

Am I wrong or does Libreoffice/openoffice work on CB?

No, I don't want chromebook otherwise I'd get that. Windows or mac

You're going to be extremely limited outside of Chromebooks. A $200 machine that's not running Chrome OS won't even be worth the hassle. It will probably have poor build quality, overheating issues, unresponsive to user input, etc

Agreed!  OP I beg of you, do not try and find a Windows machine for $200, it will be terrible.

 

In other terms, buying a $200 windows machine is like buying a crushed car at the scrap yard in hopes you will be able to drive it to work.

Dude $200 is way too low. You won't even be able to open a webpage with that. I'd say go for a tablet instead.

Another vote for tablet.

HP Chromebook 14 for $300. Great battery life, I assume you just want daily needs and this does it. There is also the Acer C720 for $200.

Chromebook or cheapest netbook with Linux

Nexus 7 is perfect.

Get a dell venue 8 pro and a keyboard case. It will be under $270 and has full windows 8 and office.
