Don't be so harsh on people. Rather be harsh on the corps fleecing them.

Trying to get a cheap computer is understandable if your budget is low.

This Asus thing is a honeytrap. It'll trap you into Windows, and it'll
trap you into a box you'll have to throw away once the next Windows
version comes out. At least that is what Asus gets from Microsoft for
doing this -- but I'd guess they get some more kickback on top.

Me? I have long stretches in my life where my budget is tight. I buy
refurbished laptops (currently the luxury of a Lenovo x260 with 16G
of RAM and a 2T SSD). Yes, it's my work machine.

Cheers
