For all my undergrad, my laptop was a refurb’d EliteBook 2540p. It was released in 2010 around the $1000 mark, and I picked it up in the summer of 2014 for $300. It was a little 12-inch thing, came with Windows 7 and no bloatware to speak of. I loved that thing, despite the overheating, the weight, the first-gen Intel Core series chip, the pathetic battery life, and the overheating.

statements so other programs can use it effectively.
