Lightweight Laptop for around £150

DollyTheSheep

I am looking for a lightweight, portable laptop that I can use for a commute. Maybe 13" or 15"

Need it to be pretty light as I'll be using a laptop bag with carry handle and not shoulder strap. Putting Linux on it, is also an option.

If I could even push it under £100 that would be great, I know we are pushing it at these price brackets. But I am hoping the MSE IT forum gurus can come up with some good ideas :cool:

second hand toshiba portage R930 or dell lattitude e6230 to me are fairly light and about this price.

You'll be looking at used/refurbished at that price and even then you can't expect too much.

OK, £9.99 more https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toshiba-Portege-R930-320gb-4gb-13-3-laptop/162864651358?hash=item25eb7d5c5e:g:VtMAAOSwVFZZcuRZ

Find a private seller and it may be cheaper.

Seen those Dells go from private sellers for under £100 last time i looked about 2 months ago.

Obviously the ssd and 16Gb memory ones will be much more.

I am unsure which is more reliable the r930 or e6230 ?

These are outside the 3-5 life cycle, so some businesses may be paying to have these dumped.
