350 has cost me the device. A Samsung 120GB SSD to and speed when browsing and Office is indistinguishable from my desktop PC. The display is added today's standards crap, but three years ago were such panels still standard. It was important mainly the resolution. I like to use the Snipping Tool from Microsoft to me passages from my lecture notes (PDF) copy in Word to make it flashcards. For sufficient resolution is important. But I also take into account that the White on the display in the middle acts and reddish towards the top gets a slightly different color cast. At very low contrast images, it may be that you have to try around a bit, at what angle best seen the picture. The keyboard is also very soft and the touchpad little slippery. The mouse buttons are at the beginning very schwergänig, but this subsides with time. At the moment I hope that the key resistance is not too low. The battery has only 4 cells, holds about 3 hours by the normal operation, but will cost even less than 50 as a substitute.
For 1200 you get a powerful laptop, top handles with super display and keyboard. For 800 you get a powerful laptop, acceptable processed with good display and keyboard acceptable. Up to 400, the range of useful equipment is already small. Low power, poor workmanship, old technology, which is the image that lends itself to one. Here you have to decide where you can cut back.
