Hi there, my old notebook is slowly but surely breaking down and I need something to work with. My Budget is low so I cannot buy something really good.

A used Lenovo T series notebook (preferably with some initial warranty as provided in your link) is a great choice for low-budget professional use. The T4x0 is a good size, though if you don't carry it around much, you could consider the T5x0 with its larger display (less relevant if you attach an external monitor as you should). The previous version (T420) had a keyboard that is generally considered better for extensive typing, but the T430 is a bit more technologically advanced (C...

The T4x0 is a good size, though if you don't carry it around much, you could consider the T5x0 with its larger display (less relevant if you attach an external monitor as you should). The previous version (T420) had a keyboard that is generally considered better for extensive typing, but the T430 is a bit more technologically advanced (CPU, graphics, ports). The price is great, too (though you could always check past sells on Ebay, which is full of used pro notebooks, to get a feel for the market. You should exchange the mechanical hard drive for an SSD (to be had at < 100€) before putting the notebook into use, and schedule a RAM upgrade to at least 8 GB soon.

Thanks, Endre! I guess, the offered Notebook will have to be enough as I cannot spend more than those 200-250 bucks at the Moment (do you know these times when you think you finally have more financial freedom and then of course all kind of things start breaking down, car, washing machine, computers.....?) | |

Thanks again for your replies! I will stick to Windows, don't want to bother with a new system now | | | Inez Ulrich Németország Local time: 09:19 Tag (2016 óta) angol - német + ... TÉMAINDÍTÓ
just another question: isn't it advisable to use an external keyboard (something ergonomical) as well? | |

Is it possible to install a CAT on these PCs? As far as I know, there are no CAT tools for ChromeOS. However, you can of course use any online CAT system in the Chrome browser (e.g. Across, Wordfast Anywhere (on days that it's online)). | | | Inez Ulrich Németország Local time: 09:19 Tag (2016 óta) angol - német + ...

The SSD is rather small, the remaining components are suffient. Anyway run an SSD test tool from the SSD manufacturer. As the SSD has been used for several years in a way unknown to you, its Write Endurance might be a problem. | |

Hi, I have ordered this one now, a bit more expensive, but I thought this really might make a difference, also with Windows 10and the bigger (or larger? I don't know) SSD. | | | To lease or not to lease... | Apr 29, 2017 |
A colleague recently mentioned that she leases all her hardware as you are then able to afford top-notch products at an affordable monthly amount. The advantage of this is you can offset the leasing amount every month, whereas when you buy new hardware this has to be offset over a number of years. It sounds like an interesting concept. | | | Heinrich Pesch Finnország Local time: 10:19 Tag (2003 óta) finn - német + ... Don't buy used machine | Apr 30, 2017 |
On a new machine you have at least a year guaranty. In your case I would rent a machine or pay in installments. At least here dealers through everything at you saying buy now, pay next year. | | | A témához tartozó oldalak: [1 2] > | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » I need an inexpensive notebook Trados Business Manager Lite | Create customer quotes and invoices from within Trados Studio
