Never buy anything worth less than $500. Those computers are worthless garbage. Anything other than that, go ahead.

You maybe won't achieve gaming tier computers, but can't you just find any budget PC on walmart or corresponding store in your country?

Wouldn't recommend Chromebooks personally. If you're just using it for browsing or lower-end games, refurbished/used laptops are the best option. Check Ebay or elsewhere.

Yes, unless you're solely commenting and hitting a few Likes on Facebook, they're pretty useless- even when simply navigating online with multiple tabs open.

I use a couple as test systems, but for obvious reasons, dread having to reboot.

I actually bought a 'Kalibook' for about that price, nad ywhen i was running a dictionary attack or started a game, the computer crashed.
So it was a computer made for hacking but it was too useless to hack anything.

I would recommend a Dell Inspirion for OP. Its one of the cheapest Dell laptops out there, and theres several 'top 10 hacking computers' articles that recommend it.

That's of no surprise.

I've been there, done that with cheap laptops as my main systems.

Okay, WOW. You are literrally in the global elite of computer laptops, look at you Hahahah.

But I see what you did there, I also think its worth spending money to get a good computer that is perfect for you.

I had a MSI gaming laptop that was pretty expensive. It lasted for 10 years. Then i had another computer that i bought cheaply. It broke after 2 years.

I couldn't agree more.

When users ask me the type of laptop/PC they should buy, I first question their overall usability.

MSI have some very attractive laptops. I was very close to purchasing one, but opted for the Acer Predator.

Your above post Is a classic example of "you get what you pay for".

Haha, yeah that's true. I definately think its worth it. Cheap laptops can be good too, but yeah 'you get what you pay for; they dont last aslong, you cant use them for bruteforce or disctionary attacks etc.

Right now I have my Alienware R3 laptop that I use for hacking and damn right, it can bruteforce.

If I would recommend a budget laptop tho, I would recommend Dell Inspiron. Both are from the same brand, but inspiron is the down-graded version.

Yes, I only use cheap laptops for lightweight testing purposes and even then, they struggle to perform.

I actually had a Dell Inspiron, namely the 510M, back In 2004. From what I remember, It was quite stable and responsive. The Alienware Is a very appealing and powerful unit and If any of my lappies die, that's what I'll be purchasing.

I've had some mixed experiences with Alienwares. The 10 year old M18x R2 still works to this day. It had only two cons: The dual AMD gfx card crossfire was no longer supported by win10, which was released 2 years after the laptop was purchased, and its rubber coating was horrendous for cleaning and received some wear.

I also used a smaller, more recent alienware (second hand again) and that one broke down badly: The hinge broke (a common issue on the model I used), the wifi card stopped working, the machine overheated and a few other issues occurred (possibly due to age/poor upkeep). As with anything, how you use and look after a device makes a lot of difference too.

I completely agree with not buying too cheap. Although, for what the OP is looking to use it for (not gaming/media work), I doubt it matters too much. Durability may be priority. Recently, I almost opted by Acer's laptops, but happened to get a great Lenovo. I've had good experiences with them, with an Nvidia gfx card (thank heavens).
