recently got an HP ProBook 6440b for free I put in a new hard drive cleaned it up and I was good to go. now I'm considering do I use this laptop as my daily driver which has a first gen i5 and 6 gigabytes of RAM as well as a Radeon 4500 Mobility long story short old. or would I be better off with my laptop which is a Dell with is Skylake I-5 in it 8GB of RAM hd 520 and a 120 gig SSD but it is built like crap well as it only has a 4 cell battery. I'm looking at this as a future Contender as my college laptop coming up in about 3 months.

The old one, because there's little pain if it gets damaged or even gets stolen. It should be fine for paper work.

There's two ways around this, I went from an i3 2368M to one featuring the same processor the i5-6200U sometime ago, the difference was shocking and made my "daily" laptop usage feel snappier for a first time (granted I replaced the hdd for a ssd).

 

I believe if you put the SSD you can use this laptop without fear of hitting or any thing they are all pretty decent at that, and sooo much more lighter, this Acer ES1 572 was stupidly light, didn't heat always kept its 2.8ghz clock and it could even play cs:go at 1366x768p all low 60fps stable

 

On the other hand I understand that something free is something free saving up for something even better is always worth it too, I given that laptop to my mother and bought one with the i7 7500U which honestly feels much the same it was before.
