I always build a PC on a budget if I do. I'm currently using a Dell Latitude E6440 laptop. I bought everything I needed, including used laptop, hard drive, charger and replacement battery, for under $100 on eBay. It's an 8 year old retired enterprise computer, but still has decent specs and it's working great for me. I installed W7 because there was a W7 Pro COA under the battery. > Linux works...been there years ago...but I want to use the Window OS > for specific Windows programs I use. Previous Intel NUC computer I > bought came with Windoze 11 Pro, so no need to switch to Linux. I'm sure I could make it work. All I really use the computer for is word processing, Usenet, e-mail, and general web browsing.
