The ThinkPad T430 and Latitude E6420 are about the best values out there right now if you're willing to take one with a scuff or two on it. Hell, my E6410 looks like it's been through WWII, but it's still perfect for those short little trips when I don't plan on gaming from the road. There are some pretty good ThinkPad 2-in-1 tablets, too. The X220t comes to mind immediately. I've still got an X61t that I will never give up because it's just so doggone useful, Core 2 Duo and all. Runs Lubuntu like a champ.

The new H-series mobile chips from Intel are looking beastly, though. AMD Vega graphics on-die will give them something like R9 380X performance from integrated graphics. Of course, it will probably also make them an FX 9590-level forest fire...

Great information, thank you all. Most of this, however, is lost upon me. I know very little but I do want 8 GB RAM, a DVD read/write, a webcam, 14-15 in screen, 500 GB-1 TB storage.

This looks like it might fit the bill: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-ThinkPad...SwOdpX1rjU

Anybody willing to step in and pick out what I should get off Ebay? I am a trusting soul and would prefer your input over mine.

get a dell refurb, the latitude or inspiron, they are cheap and even if they do break are easy to repair. If you can spring for a SSD do it, it will make everything much faster than just adding ram will. I bought my last dell refurb for 300 and have had it for 4 years without issue.

Yes, it's improvement, but it's Blaine Gabbert 2012 level improvement. - Pirkster
