I picked up a used Latitude 7280 with an i7-7600U + 16GB RAM + 256GB SSD for $126.69 ($90 plus tax and shipping). I bought an AC adapter on ebay for $12.51. And a new Kingsener battery for $31.17 from BatteryMall. Also put in a new BIOS battery.
I specifically bought this one because I knew I could get Windows 7 + 10 + 11 running on it directly as a triple boot without going through a VM.
If you don't have these specific needs and want something built decently like a Latitude, there are cheaper options for similarly powered machines likely with a better screen. It's not my main machine (used desktop) or even my main laptop (refurbished MacBook M1 base model with Windows 11 ARM running in a VM) but it does the job when needed. I even teched a show at a theater off of it a few weeks ago.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
roger, good idea.
do ssd lost space with time?
i think ssd should not be defragmented and lost space, also by partitioning.
have also to find out which raw screencasts eat my space.
by learning much got the hdd quite full, so very sensible by app size.
you sure mentioned by the rss app problem, but want to stay by topic.
million thanx!
p.s.: got some idea for quick creating a manual with affilate links.
ai should quick create a draft. examples: buying used computers, upgrading computer or so.
i help where i can! maybe you can help (me) too! see in my account under 'track' for my conservations/threads. be nice!

edit, typo=unclear
permanent wired use?
how to switch loading off, possible? dell, all/others?
battery put in or click in?
formerly you could put in, you know the old VAIO or was it standard?
don't know if you get a thing to close the open space when battery not connected.
would like / have to protect the connections.
thanx!

hi john / ken,
three short questions:
.can you say dell latitude has good display hinge?
.can they quick start?
.does dell have a setting for wired use only or stopping the
loading by 80% as some smartphones?
good that my almost not moved notebook has got problem
before getting a new old one.
it's a japanese manufacturer but i see they got much thiner
case and the hinge is 1.5cm, so half the width you had earlier.
so i think i would get only a refubrished with warranty.
thanx million!
