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

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.
