Libre Office, printing via USB connection, WIFI, email, and light browsing.
His business (piano tuning) hangs on this.
He would like the provider to be established with a decent reputation, whether the computer is new or refurbished.
His cap is $400 but he would prefer closer to $200 . . .
Refurbish? In past discussions here, I’ve seen references in the past of a good refurb provider in town. How well established are they, what’s their batting average?
New? I see:
At Amazon:
*Dell Inspiron at Amazon for $205, 11.6" HD Celeron N3060,
4GB RAM32 eMMC HDD.
*ASUS VivoBook E203NA-YS03 $199, 11.6” Featherweight design
Intel Dual-Core Celeron N3350 2.4GHz processor,
4GB DDR3 RAM, 64GB EMMC Storage, App based Windows 10 S
At Fry’s Electronics:
* HP 14-ax030nr, 14" Stream Laptop With Intel Celeron N3060 Processor,
4GB Memory, 64GB eMMC and Windows 10
Chromebook? I see Chromebooks under $250.
* Scrub & convert to Linux?
* USB ports to run a printer and external backup disk?
* Storage to run Libre writer + mail client + light surfing?
He doesn’t want to entrust all his data to Google, and is happy with Linux.
Any specific suggestions would be very welcome.
Thanks,
Victor
