Re: Can anybody recommend a good laptop under $300 - torreydale - 09-23-2016
Quote:My concerns with HP laptops is, that for the ones I have had, the fans. Those laptops have needed a complete strip down to get at the fans . Fans on all lap tops are static filters for dust etc. and hence can lead to potential cooling issues with age. Anyone else's observations on this?
And this is precisely why I suggest business grade laptops. I once had to completely remove the base of a consumer grade laptop just to add memory. About 15 screws and two motherboard ribbons later, I was able to do so. Business grade usually involves 5 screws or less for anything you need to do with the laptop. The hardware is just better, and the components have better Linux driver support.
P.S. By the way, that 15 screw, 2 motherboard ribbon laptop was an HP. It was purchased new, this year, for about $300, so naturally it only came with a 5400 RPM hard drive.
