I'll go with a super cheap tower or laptop. Maybe an external drive too. We'll see.
I saw a Dell on Ebay pretty cheap. But I need something ASAP. I saw something that looked decent at pawn shop. I asked them if I could check the UEFI settings for passwords. They had no idea what I was talking about. I tried to explain but it didn't help the look of total confusion! They just stopped me and said "Sure, no problem. And yes we have a keyboard and monitor. You can check for what ever the hell it is you're talking about".Not a lot I can say, really, and I am up-to-date with other Thread.
From that
If you can get a Dell in that category, whether laptop or desktop, grab it.
I have used (in my Linux journeys) Dell tower, Compaq Presario laptop, Toshiba Satellite laptop, Acer All-in-one, ASUS desktop, and Dell, Dell.
I keep coming back to Dell, and will stay with it. But the Toshiba Satellite laptop (8GB RAM) was able to have 40 Linux installed on its 1 TB SATA HDD... but it was refurbished and its touch screen was crap.
I still think my ASUS is probably fine. My nerves too wired up lately to trust that I won't break another capacitor or cause a self inflicted barrier to get it going again. A friend told me about something else that could also be the problem. But again, I'm not willing to chance an accident, especially not with my ASUS.Not a lot I can say, really, and I am up-to-date with other Thread.
