Good Laptop under $400?

[Aries]

I'm looking for a laptop that I could use for Minecraft, Java Coding and other small things, I'm not looking for a gaming laptop... Any suggestions... By the way a chromebook would work but It would have to be able to switch to linux for MC and coding.

I'd need it to test plugins and check on servers (Not major playing)

Dell Latitude, you can look up 2015 and newer.

Laptops don't last long, I encourage you to get a desktop.

If you want a laptop get a chromebook, if you arent gonna move it much build a desktop.

I can't tell you what to get exactly, but I CAN tell you to avoid cheap Acer laptops at all costs. Unless you enjoy Firefox freezing at 5 tabs. Then I guess you could go for it.

Ignore the "build a PC" twonks.
Look pre-owned. You can get a decent laptop that more than covers what you want it to do well within your price range if you go a few years back. It would most likely out-perform what you could get now for the same price.

Best thing to do is search for the best cheap gaming laptops for 2013/2014. And then look on sites such as eBay for pre-owned models. You'll get a decent spec laptop, most likely with a decent dedicated graphics processor, that can achieve everything you want it to.

I have a laptop from 2011, I bought it used from 2013 and it's still working good, it's a dell laptop, don't go with toshiba if you ever buy a laptop, I used it for a day and the motherboard burnt.
