So, I’m planning on buying myself a (second-hand) laptop once I get the money. I’m nowhere near tech-savvy so it has to be easy to use, but also I want something that is built to last, as opposed to certain (looking at you, Apple) devices that are desinged to become unusable within a next couple of years.

Any recommendations?

      Isn’t the E series consumer, not a business line? (Not to excuse the shittiness, just that I’ve always found consumer lines of any brand to be the worst, so never spec them for anyone).

      The only lines I’ve seen used in business are the T and X series. I’ve had great experiences with both of those, easy to repair (hell, the case screws are all captured now, finally!). I’m a big fan of the X, but the T series costs less and gets most of what the C has, other than cool stuff like compactness or Yoga stuff.

        Read the thread, there are people rolling out >100 in their company and they fail at extreme rates. And after getting fixed under warranty, the issue is still exactly the same with the replacement motherboard and they fail again soon.
