OpenBSD on the Microsoft Surface Go

Re:OpenBSD on the Microsoft Surface Go by aphextron on Friday August 31, 2018 @06:32PM (#17889006)

My SO is looking for a simple back to school laptop and they are literally all 100% garbage. There's not a single worthwhile laptop under $700. I'm telling her to go with a Surface Go since they might actually have resale value and the specs are beyond anything remotely comparable. The 10 inch iPad Pro would be another great choice for someone in this market, but it looks like Microsoft has really stepped up the low end competition.

The Surface Go is a good bargain. Costco has the best deal - 8GB version + Keyboard for $549 i believe. (plus you get the extra costco warranty)

The Costco deal is a 4GB/128GB model with keyboard that isn't available elsewhere.

I'd suggest an older laptop off of eBay or the like, especially a ThinkPad (perhaps one of the small X2x0 series or one of the X1 series?)
