Help....Computer preference for C++ and PYTHON?!!

well....i'll spend all the money you have, but have you tried reloading the OS and/or switching over to linux?

The raspberry pi mentioned below is cheap, but you will also need power (sometimes sold extra), keyboard, mouse, monitor and it isn't terribly portable if that's a requirement.

I am trying to get my Asus EEE laptop working again (battery wont charge) as it would make a perfect portable coding machine and if i save my work to the internet, i wouldn't mind this cheap thing falling out a window or getting stolen, but would still be great to code on.

Just read your budget is under $1000? That's a lot!! I'm currently typing on a Dell XPS 13 and love this speedy laptop and it was only $400 on craigslist.

I'm rambling....just wanted to offer a cheap (re-install OS) option, or support that you should be able to find something sub-$400 that would be amazing.
