Currently the start is $400. The evo is $650 at Costco, but I'm pretty confident it'll go on sale for $500 at some point.
Trying to decide whether it's worth it to wait for a sale and still spend an extra $100 on the Evo.
How is the reliability of Delonghi? Buying from Costco would give greater peace of mind.
I already have an MBP and Mac mini, just looking for an inexpensive laptop for linux. At $400, I've looked into these
Lenovo V15 G4 15.6" FHD Windows 11 Notebook | Intel Core i3-1315U | 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD
ASUS VivoBook Go 15 15.6" FHD Laptop | AMD Ryzen 5 7520U | 16GB RAM, | 512GB SSD |
I also happen to have on hand 2x16GB SODIMM DDR4. The vivobook appears to not be upgradeable. Sams club doesn't really get into the RAM specifics, but a google search shows the Lenovo V15 G4 has multiple variants, but the model with the i3 appears to have 8gb soldered and 8gb SODIMM. So if I'm not mistaken, I could swap the 8 for a 16 and have 24 total?
I'm up for other recommendations too at the same price point. I'm in the US. Build quality isn't the most important thing to me since it's not a big deal if they crap out in a few years.
When trying to use gift cards for an online order, I kept having an error saying there was a "technical problem." I figured out that if you don't select cash(or credit/debit too, but I didn't check) it'll give this error even though my entire order was covered by the gift card.
