Hi, I wanted to buy a mini PC or a laptop, but I'm a bit short on cash. Could you tell me what is more worthwhile? And also what brand and model you could recommend to me, something that might not cost more than 200 euro?
For what do you want to use your calculator, new or used, how do you want to use the pc / laptop?
New or used does not matter, although I would rather prefer a new one. Performance is not that important, I do not mean to gamble or anything. At the moment, I only need something to write and research.
For 200 euro, the laptop would be the best: https://geizhals.de/...ml?hloc=de
However, the operating system is bad and you would have to install Windows 10 again.
From the other exchanges, I read out your needs. That's why I recommend you an old Thinkpad T430 (https://www.luxnote-hannover.de/lenovo-thinkpad-t430-intel-i5-2-6ghz-4gb-320gb-win7pro-2349-a35.html) https://www.luxnote-hannover.de/lenovo-thinkpad-t430-intel-i5-2-6ghz-4gb-320gb-win7pro-2349-a35.html or an X-model. They are 100x better than any new cucumber for less than 400 euro. Qualitative as well as performance. The keyboard is normal size and perfect for writing.
Info: T = Office, 4 = 14 ", 30 = 3rd generation of Intel i processors X = 12" device for everywhere-with-you-can-take.
Why the link to Luxnote? I shop there myself and know that the equipment is in order, which can't always be said of other used dealers.
Since I can recommend something like this: https://www.amazon.de/...07G23Q4YG/ This is a small mini computer with the operating system Android 8.1. It is simply connected via HDMI to a TV or monitor.
There are 32GB of memory installed. This gives you enough space for all the apps. If that is not enough, you can with a memory card to max. Expand 64GB.
A radio remote control with voice control is included. There's also Bluetooth, WLAN and 3 USB ports available. You can also use a normal keyboard and mouse (best wireless).
Even printing is possible. This requires a WLAN or Bluetooth enabled printer. You only have to install the corresponding print app.
The Google Docs, Sheets, Google Slides, and Forms apps also support text input via voice. You can also use them offline.
You can also connect a webcam. Then you can e.g. Skypen, Facebook Videochat, Teamspeak use.
I got it from my parents for Christmas 2018 and I'm completely satisfied. Even more elaborate Android 3D games can play with it fluently.
