<p>I have several low powered cheap Dell i3s that I upgraded to SSD drives and it really made a difference. This is my recommend SSD : <a href="https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147676&cm_re=SAMSUNG_860_EVO_Series_2.5%22_250GB_SATA_III_3D-_-20-147-676-_-Product" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.newegg.com/<wbr />Product/Product.aspx?Item=<wbr />N82E16820147676&cm_re=SAMSUNG_<wbr />860_EVO_Series_2.5%22_250GB_<wbr />SATA_III_3D-_-20-147-676-_-<wbr />Product</a></p>
<p>Monitor your memory usage. If compiling uses all your memory, add some more. It has been my experience over the years that two things make a big difference, 1) faster drives, more RAM.</p>
<p>I assume you are running some distro of Linux. That helps as well. </p>

<div dir="ltr">I'm thinking about getting a new laptop. Mine is several years old, and while it's quite serviceable, it boots really slowly, and it doesn't like to run a guest Ubuntu OS under Oracle VirtualBox. Also, I foresee more compiling in my future, even though of late I've been rather truant about working on my own through my Haskell book. I will say no more about the R book. I don't game, because it is addicting, and therefore bad for me.

<div>I tend to try to get as much life as possible out of a computer, because I am poor. I have heard good things about ASUS. I see more Linux in my future, but I have to have Windows and since Windows tends to come preinstalled, I expect it would be my native, host OS.</div>

<div>I'd like to spend $500, but could (and probably will) stretch to $700.</div>

<div>What could I expect to get for that, and what would you suggest.</div>
