  • Yeah I'd rather not use my work laptop for personal stuff tbh, partially because of the above, and partially because I don't want to accidentally be contactable on evenings or weekends.

  • Didn’t think about your type of job... 😬 get a refurbished Dell and do that trick where you order and cancel so they call you to offer a discount? Not sure if it’d work with refurbished units. But folks were just talking about order and cancel and they got discount.

    Otherwise, if it’s just for Internet, a friend bought a laptop for £199, it can’t do anything heavy obvs, but she seems happy enough using it to write, Internet and the odd bits of movies.

    Makes me think of my old Acer netbook. It was the 2nd gen after that super popular Linux one everyone had. Never ceased to amaze me how well it worked for a general personal computer, plus it was so small it was genuinely ultra portable.

    Unfortunately it's pretty much redundant as a concept with cheap tablets and modern phones. Would be good for a kid I guess.
