Digest for misc.consumers.frugal-living@googlegroups.com - 3 updates in 1 topic

Wondering if it's possible to buy a GOOD laptop, that is good for 10 years,
for 1000 USD? Last one I had like that was a Compaq with all the latest
bells and whistles. It lasted over 10 years, but cost like $3000.

Yes. You can buy a good laptop for $800 these days. If you don't drop
it, it should last 10 years.

There are plenty for half that price, unless you want an Apple. If you're
just using it mostly for the web and similar, I'd be looking in that
range. I find myself using my phone a lot more than the PC. Which
is one reason PC sales peaked years ago.
