I actually bought myself a little Kali-book a while ago, its a hacking laptop,
it costed $500, but for that price, it got shortwired and died when I tried a bruteforce attack with john.

I've experienced similar Incidents with cheap systems.

I no longer purchase Inexpensive laptops. The power of SSDs, Quad Core CPUs, 32 GB of Ram and the GTX 1070/1080 speaks for Itself. Every penny spent, was well worth It.
