Hi, 

I'm trying to find a nice cheap affordable laptop, mainly for common class work (Eg, google drive / google docs, slides ex)

I'm not realy looking to spend anything much over $100 - $150 USD an im not wanting a laptop with chrome os

 

I wouldn't need a lot of storage as i picked up 5 - 6 of the "back to school" Walmart 32 gig 2.0 usb flash drives.

 

The essential's would be long lasting battery life, durability, Win10 / Win 7

 

I currently have a alien-ware Mx14 laptop, having a core i7, with 16 gigs of ddr3 ram, its only bottle neck's being 1.) GPU 2.) battery life 3.) Weight

while the laptop itself is only 14-inch display, its still nearly 2 - 3 pounds. And overall i just don't feel safe caring it around in school. (although there is the plus of being able to play fortnite in class lmao wich i had)

 

the realy only thing iv'e come across so far was this cheap laptop costing around $126.79 USD and overall it had some bad review's on amazon and seemed to sketch.

I don't realy have much a flexible budget with a cap being $175 usd 

so any help would be welcomed,

thanks

Considering that laptop you linked has 2 USB ports and a MicroSD card I would say that is a good deal at that price.

Won't be the fastest thing around but it can certainly run Google Apps.

HP Stream PCs are an option. The CPU is a little better than an Atom and 4GBs of RAM would benefit Google Apps.

This one is better looking than hp stream :

drawbacks : 32gb storage, 2gb rams

i don't know if they could be upgraded, but for google apps should be fine.

Mine is cheaper, has more RAM and you're worried about how it looks? lol. Okay then.

Its price tag is iffy for me though, due to shipping, while I do overall like it's look's im not so sure that its metal, it looks it but is it realy? as there is nothing in its description about it being metal. Also it didn't seem to have some oh so good review's.
