Laptop suggestions for certain use (affordable&effective)
    #25516482 - 10/06/18 06:44 AM (5 years, 7 months ago)

So i have this cheep laptop my wife and i use for schoolwork. It has the basics on it but is full to the brim(has very little hard drive memory apparently)
Its been asking to update for 6 mths and there's not evem 1gb room to do so.

So, im in the market for another.
My main goal is to run the monero gui interface with a full node.
That is my only large need for this system
I am trying to also learn linux so i might run that as os.
I will only use if for my crypto needs and surfing the web for droogz
As well as some dn usage, when i get my monero sorted.
What is the best and cheepest route for me?
Do i need to just look for a cpu with a large hard drive and that is all?
Please offer suggestions.
Thanks

Ps monero full node is currently like 60 some gb to keep with the gui included

A friend just replaced her laptop with one she got on line; a Dell, i-5, 4 gb memory, 500 gb hard drive 15.6" display. 160$ shipped to her door. There are great deals out there!

The processing speed doesnt have to be light speed like for gamerz.

i've got a used dell i'd be willing to sell you, i5 2.5 or 2.6 ghz, 4gb ram, two hdds (1tb and 750gb; DVD-RW still included, swapable for the 750gb), but i doubt it would be ample for mining.  laptops really aren't designed for such intensive, non-stop high-heat producing functions.


you'd really want a desktop with good air-flow and a strong fan or two (cpu fan, etc...) for mining.  not saying it isn't possible with a laptop, just not ideal.
