jonii25246yPro low budget tip: get refurbished business notebooks, they might be 5yrs old already, but they upgrade RAM and put an SSD in it and sell them for little money.

devTea219106yMy $600 laptop works fine for about 4 years tho, try upgrading to ssd and ram if necessary

lxmcf199506y@devTea already done, but it's completely random
It is a MacBook Pro 2013 that had these issues but its one of the fixed versions apparently -
What version of macOS are you installing? Is it a clean copy? Also, try to go into verbose mode on startup, that way, you might get more info

lxmcf199506y@DuckDuckWent Latest high sierra and verbose does nothing, it boots up fine but once its actually in the OS it locks up and does nothing, going to return it and hope to find another one.

lxmcf199506y@DuckDuckWent they accepted a refund and will send another if they have any available so can't argue I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Don't you fucking love spending $700 on a laptop only for it to not fucking work and start freezing immediately after turning it on?
