    Ok that does sound like a good deal, if it’s comparable to something sold new I’m guessing it at least has 8gb of ram, and therefore better than the other stuff available at that price. But yeah, still, I think there is just more supply than buyers in general. I was looking at stats on the sell through rate for a lot of cheaper used laptops the other week and it’s often extremely low.

      4gb sadly, but I think that says more about how shit the Australian market is than anything.

          It works, and even windows “ran”, but it started to swap like mad if you opened too many browser tabs, even on Linux.

          But it is technically enough.

            I have 25 tabs open on Ungoogled Chromium w/the Sway window manager, without struggle, and a few other workspaces and browsers going. But Sway may be making the difference. I think things like Gnome and KDE can be a bit heavy.

              Sway definitely helps, gnome was very heavy. But I can’t give sway to a Linux noob…
