Hey y'all,
Recently I bought an Tex-X200T [https://tehnoetic.com/tet-x200t] plus a 120
GB SSD upgrade and an X200 Docking Station for €848 (€698 + €80 +
€70). While it is a great laptop, I've found overtime that I might want
something either more powerful for programming or more power efficient for
travel. I'm looking to sell the X200T plus accessories for around $300 to
$500 and was wondering if anyone had computer suggestions that met these
requirements:
1. Must be $400 to $600.
-- If you think I should go with a desktop please note I will also need
a monitor that fits in this budget
2. Must be fully functional running Trisquel or Parabola GNU/Linux
-- Must have working Bluetooth, Wifi and graphics without proprietary
blobs
3. Must either have an average 8 hour battery life or a gaming graphics card
4. Must have at least 4GB of RAM or upgradeable RAM
Currently I have my eye on these laptops, so feel free to give your opinion
about them as choices:
1. Asus C201 Chromebook

2. Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-57D4

3. Dell Chromebook 13 3380 Education

If I'm honest I'd really like to have a budget "powerhouse" laptop like the
Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming
[http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/productdetails/inspiron-15-7567-laptop/fncwf514s],
but I don't think I'll be able to afford its price tag.
