I'm looking for a good and cheap notebook for the university.
Personally, I need it primarily for office applications, but it would be great if YouTube, Netflix, and Co work well too.
Furthermore, for unilaptops usually the criteria are easy and high battery life important, so that would be quite nice.
Well for the price, I have, as a student, a maximum of 500 euro.
The notebook should have 14, X - 15, X inches in my opinion.
I even have a device in view because of its design and its data. It would be that: TREKSTOR PRIMEBOOK P15-P, Ultrabook (15.6 inch full HD IPS display, Intel Pentium N4200, 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD hard disk, fingerprint sensor, Windows 10) gray https://www.amazon.de/...07Q32L3YX/
Thank you in advance for your help and Happy Halloween🎃👻
The Trekstor has a slow CPU and too little hard disk space.
From experience, I can tell you that a tablet is much more comfortable, especially if you can write on it by hand to make a nimble note, but the things will eventually blow up your budget.
Otherwise you can run office and such jokes on an old potato, you do not need good equipment.
In your model, the space seems to me limited. At 128GB and Windows 10 fit is not much left.
Because of the hard disk storage, I get anyway an external hard drive. But I'll take a look at your offer there.
Why an external hard drive? This is especially for a notebook that you want to take with you (portable!) Rather big nonsense.
That's just the thing, Tablet is beyond the budget. Especially since when I buy a tablet, I inevitably have to buy a laptop for the purpose of Hsusarbeiten. Regarding low storage capacity, I wanted to buy an external hard drive anyway.
First, it is so more memory = more money. Then I do not need all the lecture scripts etc. Always. Therefore the external as "warehouse of documents". On the laptop itself would always be just what I actually need.
Why do you have to buy extra a laptop for chores? Apart from my bachelor thesis, I wrote all on the tablet.
From external plates, I advise, an already overloaded computer (due to the low memory) is thereby only slower, which makes adequate work impossible.
Do as you like, because you will not listen to others anyway.
Why do you give as budget then 500 euro, but if you only want to spend 400?
Well, what do I know…
No no, do not get me wrong, I really like your offer with the Lenovo and I'm very grateful for that. I'll probably get it, too, because you say it's much better for me. That was the meaning of my question that I would be advised by experts. I just wanted to explain why I wanted to use an external with low memory 😉
Well, I can stop at Tablet, unless you are somehow such a large expensive Surface o.Ä. Imagine writing house papers is quite uncomfortable, even if you have a keyboard. Personally, I also believe that in a lecture a tablet is very good.
What would you actually say about Convertables? Like the Lenovo IdeaPad c340. For Notebooksbilliger there's the same with the same data as the L340 (I think) for the same price. Is something more of an unnecessary gimmick?
Depends on. If you really want to have a touch screen, you should just do it.
Unfortunately, these touchscreens are rarely good at Convertibles. Mostly too dark and often have a bad contrast. Plus mostly shiny, so it reflects incredibly strong.
But I can't imagine that it is also for 500 euro. You'd better spend around 200 euro more.
The question is, does one use the touch screen or is it just a gimmick?
I just take the L340, so I'm not doing anything wrong
I would advise against the notebook you picked out for two reasons:
It could be that a fluid work is not guaranteed. As a problem I see the built-in processor (Intel Pentium N4200) in connection with the pre-installed operating system (Microsoft Windows 10 Home). The processor is quite energy efficient and inexpensive, but just slow (belongs to a no longer current series). This could be a problem as Microsoft Windows 10 is one of the slowest operating systems on the market. The need for system resources also increases with each release, which is usually brought to the users without their knowledge with the updates.
The SSD is likely to offer with 128 GB too little space. A problem here again is the preinstalled operating system, which already occupies a comparatively large amount of memory (demand could rise through releases). But even so 128 GB are quite fast.
In the price range specified by you, there's definitely better. I have not really researched for a long time, but still found models that meet your specifications and with which it should work better.
Just one example of what you can get in the price range you set:

If you are really short of cash, a used device could be an option. For 200-300 euro you will find already used business notebooks (often 2-3 years old return launches), which are a lot better than new as Budged-Waare.
