The Cheapest PC in Kota Kinabalu in 2020

For students who are desperate to get a personal computer to do their assignments, it is best that they save costs by buying second hand PC or laptop rather than buying a new one.

You can get the following laptops at Nova Jaya Computer Sdn. Bhd at University Plaza:

The actual price is actually much lower than this because it includes software installation, trial software but useable. You can get discounts also. Also not mentioned are free gifts that is worth RM50.

I just don't understand how they make money like this because in Ebay, the transportation cost from places that have lots of this type of laptops is already US$70.

These laptops or tablet PCs in the above pictures, are business class personal computers which means that they are stronger and more reliable than cheap computers. In 2020 they are still fast enough even without SSD.

I bought the X200 because it is the most value for money and upgradeable. Its RAM can be upgraded to 8 Gbyte using DDR3. I also like Lenovo keyboards. They are slightly better than other keyboards because of their larger travel allowing more responsive touch typing, but other laptops are only slightly worse so most people will not notice the difference.

These tablet PCs also come with pens which can cost more than RM100 if bought separately. Not easy to find them separately because there are so many types that most are incompatible with each other. I had a Tablet Windows 10 with a stylus but it was damaged. I used it for lectures before it was damaged. It cost me more than RM1,200.

The problem with these old PCs are due to lack of support. After more than 10 years, manufacturers such as Lenovo, HP and Dell no longer support them and so difficult to find the latest drivers, so it requires a lot of effort to make them fully 100% useable. The technicians at any computer shop will not have the time to research for all drivers. It took me days to experiment with various options, which I shall share so that others can benefit from them.
