4 years ago I bought the cheapest black Friday laptop I could find. It was
$370 and an HP. Not much power and not much RAM. I've used that laptop as a
LAMP server (PHP Dev box) for the past 2 years. Does just fine.
2 years ago I bought a cheap laptop just before Black Friday, It also cost
$370 and is an HP with more CP and RAM. I use it for my desktop with an
external keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
So far these cheap laptops have given me good service.
I have not had many hardware issues over the years. I started buying computers
26 years ago. I think the reason is I use top shelf power strips.
