I did not find a single new metal laptop for 300 of close to 300. Please share what you found.
In the used category there were 14 inch Probooks that my brother and I picked up from Groupon that did have metal. Just under 300 last time and a few came with an extra new battery.
For 125.94 dollars this one. https://www.groupon.com/deals/gs-hp-probook-6460b-14-intel-core-i3-2310m-2-1ghz-4gb-250gb-hdd-new-b
It was a steal and had a metal cover and more. We shared this deal with others and not one has died yet. Perfect for school work. We did change a few to SSD (drives) to make them comparable to laptops today.
Hi I’m a new college student and I’m looking for a some laptop suggestions. I’m looking for a laptop that’s (preferebly metal but doesn’t have to be) around 13.3in (small so I can put it in my bag) have a decent display (not gaming for the most part just school and YouTube, Netflix, etc) and be around 300 dollars (cheaper the better!) thank you so much for the information guys!
