Laptop for a girl

Question

Iron

Please tell me the model of a reliable budget (up to $ 600) laptop for a girl. It will be used at home, so weight and battery life are not very important. Scope of use - client web development and semi-professional photo processing. Therefore, you need a screen with good color reproduction from 15 to perhaps 17 inches. The video card doesn't matter; it is desirable that the laptop warms up less and certainly does without a dock. You also need the ability to eventually change or deliver a bar of RAM for an upgrade.

The girl is not very accurate with the technique, so it is desirable that the model be sufficiently vandal-resistant and maintainable. This is perhaps the main criterion that did not allow me to get by with Yandex Market filters.

Answer 1

up to $ 600 vandal-resistant and 15 "? it doesn’t happen. Look in the direction of bu ibm thinkpad tXX (where two x's are model numbers). An indestructible series with an excellent screen, ergonomic keyboard and no! gloss!

Answer 2

Are you sure that under such conditions it is worth taking a laptop?
For me, in terms of the reliability of the package (and judging by your description, this is the most important criterion), consider ASUS or Lenovo (I'm not entirely sure about the latter). I myself use SONY Vaio, but there’s not much to roam with such a budget.
And so, for a girl, you can have the same as for a man, only the color is different. Choose as for yourself.

Answer 3

Blonde?
Wouldn't the system unit be more reliable? If it breaks, then only the mouse or keyboard. On the other hand, a normal screen will not be too expensive (from 5500 eIPS), which is generally unattainable for mainstream laptops and below.
… In Asus, the matrix mounts often fall apart, not for everyone and not in a large percentage of cases. For example, this is how the (new) Transformer was spoken about.

Answer 4

Thinkpad t410s try to see if you can find where to buy.

Answer 5

In case you decide to take a monoblock, here is an example that I collected - megazuz.livejournal.com/11247.html
Last time it was within 18200 r
, now the current kit will be released:
Pegatron DUBAI L6 H55 monoblock - 10510
Intel Core i3 processor - 560 OEM - 3810
2Gb DDR-III 1333Mhz Kingston SO-DIMM (KVR1333D3S8S9 / 2G) x1 = 1100
128Gb SSD OCZ Agility 4 Series (AGT4-25SAT3-128G) - 3370
TOTAL: 18 790 r

Answer 6

You can take the lenovo thinkpad t60, for example, to be honest, it was not killable (the conditions were hellish) except for the cooler, for some reason it died quickly (a year and a half) ... there was also a Fujitsu Siemens S6020 - this is a real beast without cooling and completely stuffed with newspapers (it helped from bluing) without a back cover, lived for half a year, then the hard drive died ... the models were old but 15-17 "there was a tambourine and both laptops pulled gimp + chrome (up to 7 tabs) + netbeans + qutim + skype perfectly

Answer 7

if you like risk (in exchange for the opportunity to save money) and have the opportunity to wait (including the Russian Post), you can order a used lenovo thinkpad t400/500/510 from ebay. I have had successful experience with bu thinkpads, about 5 pieces.
pluses:
- repair and replacement is easy
- practically indestructible case
- high-quality battery (unlike asus and others)
-
cons:
- you will need to wait for delivery (from two weeks to two months)
- you need to CAREFULLY read the description of what is being sold, because to. it may be written in small text below about some important problem (for example, a broken screen)
- carefully examine all the photos, if something is wrong, it is better to ask the seller
- carefully look at the cost of delivery (and be sure to use usps express or usps priority - so that there are no problems with customs)
- there is a risk of loss and theft of the parcel by our mail. If the parcel is not received, within 40 days you need to open a dispute on paypal. According to my personal statistics, the problem occurs in 15-20% of orders (mainly due to Russian mail), the risk of theft is about 10%. It is better to consult on a thematic forum like ebay-forum.ru
