Cheap laptop for someone who writes a lot of texts

Question

laptops

Good afternoon!

I am a copywriter. A person who writes a lot. Most of all, I like to work at home on a desktop computer with a comfortable ergonomic keyboard. But sometimes I have to leave the house. For example, go to the country. So far, my wife's laptop helps me out, but often there is a conflict of interest.

I do not have clear requirements for finding a decent option in Yandex.Market, so I hope for your advice.

1. A comfortable keyboard with an obvious location of all buttons, and not according to the principle of “stick it where there is a place”. Once I was looking for the home button on the keyboard for several days. Found. Bottom left.

2. Matte screen. Size from 13 inches. This requirement follows from the first one, because with a small screen, it is difficult to dream of a comfortable keyboard.

3. Low price, because I will use the laptop, God forbid, twice a month.

4. Productivity - the Internet, office programs and the ability to use CorelDraw without really terrible brakes.

I would be grateful for advice. Interested, of course, personal experience.

Answer 1

Lenovo X120 - matte screen :) The
keyboard is very comfortable. But - 11.6"

Answer 2

Are you only considering a new laptop? And how do you like this option - Lenovo ThinkPad X61s : 12.1 " , but the aspect ratio is 4:3 ! The thinkpad keyboard is one of the most convenient! I'm not sure if it can be found in a new condition, but you can pick up a used one on eBay .

Answer 3

I'm using an Asus EEE PC 1005 PE, which is enough for me to do about 6 hours of programming in Visual Studio 2008 / NetBeans with WiFi enabled. Of the benefits - voiced battery, low weight. Of the minuses, by and large, only gloss and 13 ''. You can put up with the latter, but the gloss interferes.
I bought it for 13,000. As for prices now, I don't really know. By the way, I advise you to specify the budget in the question, otherwise it is a vague requirement.
Bought about a year ago. The overall impression is described as "very satisfied".

Answer 4

How do you like this ?
Matte, 15.6. From 12 000 rub.

Answer 5

Thank you!
Gloss, of course, is a minus. I plan to use outdoors.
I haven't decided on a budget either. Either go and buy within 15, or more expensive (in debt or on credit), if there is anything for it.

Answer 6

1. The keyboard can be connected external via USB. The mouse, by the way, external is simply necessary. In short, take the wireless kit right away - you won't regret it.
2. It is better to choose on your own in the store which screen you like best. Personally, I am satisfied with the Dell Vostro 13 "screen and its price is also low, especially in the configuration without Windows.
3. If the price is completely critical, then you can take a netbook, only the memory is at least 1GB. one bar of memory per 1 GB. Some netbooks allow you to do this, the same Asus Aspire One. I personally saw how they installed it.
4. The main brakes in office suites due to lack of memory, so see point 3.

Answer 7

I advise you to pay attention to the HP dm1-3100er. This is 15-16 thousand, good performance (AMD Brazos), screen 11.6. Keyboard photostyts , tyts

Answer 8

I advise you to pay attention to Asus u35jc and its clones - u36jc, ul20 and others. The next most convenient keyboards are Sony and MacBooks (but you still need to try to find a MacBook with the correct layout).
In general, buy an asus eee wireless and don't worry about choosing the right laptop. If you work in stationary conditions, of course.

Answer 9

look HP 625. Matte screen 15.6", 12 - 15 thousand depending on the parameters.
I had one. I used it just for writing texts (mostly). It fit perfectly. I
refused because it is very inconvenient to work on an airplane / bus - cumbersome.
Now I use iPad + bluetooth keyboard (when traveling). I can't get enough of it :)

Answer 10

Asus K50C
Big, strong with comfortable keyboard. 12-13 tyr. But, a weak video on an exotic SiS Mirage 3+ chipset and only 2 USB
