Clearly the continual broadcast of the Olympic 2012 Opening Ceremony forever shows the Lib Dems actually won the argument e: 14 was the number of points made by Woodrow Wilson before the Versailles Treaty which would probably have made the 20th century less lovely had they been followed more fully.

Hey nerds, I need a new laptop and don't have much money (maybe £300 at a push.) Thinking probably a refurb rather than shiny new. Don't game much these days, when I do it's unlikely to be bleeding edge stuff anyway. Currently running a 7(?) year old Alienware M14 R2 so anything with better spec than that will blow my aged mind. Any suggestions/insights?

Nettle Soup posted:Google says that's an i7? You're not gonna do hugely greater than that for under £300 Yeah, fair enough. It's not even an upgrade that I need especially, just that my current laptop has 1) a screen smashed beyond use 2) a dodgy charger and hosed battery that won't hold a charge anyway 3) a missing Enter key It's been through some stuff! But rather than throwing money at fixing it, seems more sensible to just get something newer now and avoid spending twice. e: Maybe £300 is too tight, I dunno. £500? sebzilla fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Apr 7, 2020 |

I definitely don't need solidarity fund money to buy a new laptop, thanks though Ms A! After a bit of searching about this one seems like a pretty solid deal: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lenovo-Thinkpad-T460-i5-6300U-2-4GHz-512GB-SSD-16GB-Ram-Windows-10-Laptop-HDMI-/153847380126 Any big red flags why I shouldn't get it at the price? Newish i5 (6300U), 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD.

DesperateDan posted:maxxing out the ram, installing an ssd and doing a clean install can give laptops a whole new life if you haven't already done that Would also need to replace the screen and battery and charger and source an enter key which last time I checked a couple of years ago was out of stock from the replacement keys people. Basically at that point I might as well just drop a few hundred on a new machine and save myself the bother, right?
