laptop Laptop under $400 - Give me an advise

[Shane Pham]

Thank for your reading,
I'm from Viet Nam in Asia. Now I have to get a new laptop for working. I will go with Dual boot Manjaro and Windows 10, but my budget is low.
I consider between laptops which have Pentium N4200, Core I3-6006u (Brand New) and Core i5-2520M ( old Thinkpad x220). 

What should i choose it?

If you want a laptop that will work until next year, wait until you have money and get a decent laptop for $600.

 

Anything below that is very slow computers or the celeron scams.

 

 

If you absolutely have no choice, go for Thinkpad x220.

Be sure to put a SSD in it, slow laptop will be so much more faster with even the crappiest SSD on the market. IIRC Kingston SSD 250gb is affordable.

IIRC stands for If I Recall Correctly.

 

I will link a SSD for you. https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-75E250B-AM/dp/B00OAJ412U/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1507523656&sr=1-3&keywords=250gb+ssd

 

Samsung but very affordable and fast.
