Need help finding a laptop

[Terryv]

My Dell E5400 finally died and I need a replacement.

 

What is the cheapest new thin and light laptop (or tablet) available?

 

Requirements:

 

- able to run windows/ Linux

- minimum 2 GB ram (4 or more preferably)

- descent battery life

- at least one USB A port

 

This will mainly be used for vehicle tuning

 

Apps include VCDS, tuner studio, etc.

Silly me, thanks.

Look at Facebook Marketplace, especially if you just want something cheap.

Generally you won't feel too bad breaking one if it comes down to it.

 

Otherwise, a used surface pro off ebay should do the trick (Just be sure that it is a working unit, as there are a lot of as-is/for parts units) for $100-200.

 

I'm sure there's some cheaper off-brand stuff if you're willing to tinker or put some research into it.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far, I'm leaning towards a surface pro, as it seems to offer most of what i need.

 

unfortunately, my local classifieds are pretty barren and contain only overpriced apple stuff. I'm looking at ebay.
