I've just recently got to college, and over the summer I built a new desktop rig, thinking it would be fine. Now, however, I kind of feel like I'd like to have a laptop too. I figure, though, that since I already have a nice desktop, I'd just like a laptop (most likely running Linux) that has wireless internet capabilities and can run basic word processing applications. This does not have to game at all , it is just a workhorse to take to the library and the occasional lecture.
I'm cheap, and I like to build stuff myself. I know you can buy Asus cases and just pop pieces in there, but beyond that, I'm not really sure what to do. Any advice you guys could give me would be really appreciated; I'd give a price range, but honestly, I have no idea how much this should cost....All I can say is the cheapest possible configuration that would handle these tasks with no hassle. Thanks in advance guys.
Also, I'm not planning on any volt modding or overclocking.
