If EU dies, privacy dies.

If EU dies, privacy is the last thing you will care about. Dropping nukes all over Europe (the geographical thing) would do less damage.

Losing one nation or two, even if it is a major one like UK, isn't a big issue.

I like how you clearly made a distinction between UK and EU
Hope to see you soon from the other side of the border as well!!

Death to EU ❤

Yes, but it's discounted from $599, so as my significant other might say, "I got a deal!!"

You don't idea idea how many money wasted my mother in law with this trick to Gruupon... Everything was $100 and now $10, at a certain point after all the garbage she bought I had show her that on Amizon all that garbage costed even less and she was tricked... Oh my...

It's been like that for years, but laptop manufacturers still crammed huge (1-2TB usually) internal hard drives in a craptop or trashbook as a way to attract customers.
When instead they should have pushed people to be rely on an external drive for their stuff as these laptops fail reliably in 3-4 years of use and most people don't have the basic skill (and know what a sata-usb adapter even is) to actually take out the drive out of the dead junk their laptop became to save their data.

That would have costed a pretty penny for this price range. Dual sockets are starting to be rarer in 800$ price range laptops too.

SSD get a nice performace bump, but at the cost of going back 15 years in terms of capacity (on entry level or mid-range laptops), Windows and office fuck-ton of updates, fill them faster than light...

Since optical drives are phased out, they could use the space to put a traditional drive in there in addition to the main SSD.

I'd rather not see you at the border thanks. We get enough fucking refugees already.

what

speaking of poors, it would sell very well in UK in a few quarters.

Unfortunately, it's only available via wallmart in A-merica...

No kidding, they would sell millions in Italy/Spain/Greece/Poland etc... 😢

For $200 that is a great deal. For $280 it's still good but not at the price where I'd think about buying more than one. Put a slightly less hungry distro on and 4GB should be OK for basic tasks I'd want to throw at it.

No applause needed. The cheapest 120GB SSD is cheaper than any new mechanical hard drive.

Sad this miss the performance bump a second ram slot would have added.
