Hello folks, I'm looking to get a "new" laptop, ideally something around 13" with full HD screen or at least a reasonably high res one. Doesn't need to be powerful, but it needs to be relatively light (thinking Portege or ThinkPad kind of build).
It'll be used for VPN into work when I'm not at home (hence the higher resolution, I need the screen space), fiddling with my car via the ODBC interface, running calibration software for the AVR etc - so absolutely nothing taxing really.
I reckon I should be able to find something that suits second hand for around 200 - 250 and swap the HDD for an SSD later on, is that realistic? If so, can anyone recommend a better second hand seller and some models I should look for?
Thanks!
