Cheaper alternative to the new macbook(not pro)

What are some cheaper alternatives to the new macbook (not pro, not air) ?

used thinkpad

literally any other ultrabook

asus zenmeme

Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air

dell xps

asus zenbook 3

Chromebook with loonix
Looking at 200-250 bucks

Raspberry pi

Ux305, or whatever they are called.

VAIO Z.

They don't exist. Everything listed in this thread is inferior in one regard or another.

Either an asus zenbook or a chromebook, depending on what you honestly, really, nonmemetically need.

but I want mac os not shitty windows 10

macbook pro 2012

>Buy Xiaomi 13 " ultrabook,
>set it up as hackintosh
>add an apple sticker
>save $800

>Buy a Zenbook
>Install Linux
>Save about $1000

There are no cheaper alternatives if you want the same features or quality. Only things that come to mind are:
Dell XPS
Lenovo X1

They're on sale and will be consistently for the next few weeks, keep an eye out. Just bought a 512GB 1.2Ghz model for under a grand earlier today.

I like HP Stream

It looks good and it's cheap

>does it run gnu/linux?

Yeah but the color options...

Surface book.

None of the alternatives are any good.

t. Someone given a MBP 2015 for work, looking for an alternative for home

I like the blue colour, silver is boring

This. It's gorgeous, well built, decent specs and the price is noice....

Kek it's being withheld from the pajeets

I second the question.

What I need:
-high resolutions (I read and write a lot, i figure higher res is much better for my eyes)
-very good battery life and sturdyness (I travel a lot for my job)
-longevity of the product, dont want to be forced buy a new device in two years already

nice to have but willing to compromise:
-detachable screen/tablet mode
-touchscreen

not important:
-gayming performance
-storage
-doesnt have to be cheap

it's a thinkpad yoga (2016 model) battery life is good enough or some hp lineup like spectre or asus zenbook flip.

HP Spectre is extremely good looking and well built, screen is perfect and it has an i5 instead of core M
That brown/gold color is gay thought

Slightly on topic, but is anyone else enjoying this competition in the Notebook space right now?

>Chromebooks
>MacBooks
>Zenbook
>Dell XPS
>HP Spectre
>Even Chinkshit

It's pretty great.

this. xiaomeme is getting frustrating. they release everything late in india. the chink fucks get everything almost 6 months earlier. Xiaomi should cut friendship with china and headquarter itself in india

buy a Macbook then
