gillbot Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Check microcenter and their sales, watch the intel based ones. I got my daughter a Lenovo one for $279 total, you just have to be patient and wait for the right deal. Otherwise, be prepared t spend a little more. http://slickdeals.net/f/5812770-Lenovo-Z-series-Outlet-Laptops-between-315-350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbot Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 http://www.geeks.com/products.asp?cat=NBB I'd prefer something Core i3/i5 based, but a Core2Duo is still a plenty capable machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011SVT Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 There are refurb Dell 620s which are very popular/solid machines available < $300 all over the place (Meijer's, Walmart, Newegg, etc.) Was thinking of picking one up to use as a standalone base for my security system.

JaSSon Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 The Asus X401a from microcenter is the best bang for the buck by far. It's a 2012 Intel cpu. I'll take that over a ~2009 C2D any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I think you might find that B970 to be a bit sluggish. Get your ass over there and buy this before its gone: http://microcenter.com/product/403572/X44H_14_Laptop_Computer_Refurbished_-_Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 the B970 is quite capable http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Pentium+B970+%40+2.30GHz Not that much worse than the i3 really http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i3-2350M+%40+2.30GHz Still, either are above one of the higher end C2D: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core2+Duo+T9600+%40+2.80GHz&id=1012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
