      We have to get my daughter a notebook computer that runs Windows or Mac OS for her online school she’s starting next semester. Obviously we’re not going to spend the money on a Mac and she doesn’t need anything very powerful because it’s going to be mostly web browsing and Zoom meetings. There are a lot of sub-$300 notebooks on Amazon, and some of them are from companies like Acer and Dell, but there are a shit ton of brands I have never heard of- Excebook, CHUWI, SGIN… some don’t even say the brand. It’s crazy.

        Mind dropping me a link? I might buy one for a goof and try to install Linux on it 😆

          It was just a standard Amazon search for sub-$300 Windows notebooks. I’m sure Linux will install on it no problem. How long the hardware lasts is another matter. And I’m guessing it’s all hardwired.

            Thanks I appreciate that, I’ll keep an eye out for any of the ones you mentioned. I want to crack one open too. You’d be surprised what’s inside of these things sometimes. Or not inside 😅

        Chuwi is one I have actually come across IRL! Can’t vouch either way for it but anecdotally the owner seemed happy
