Hello, I have a gaming pc and a good laptop for school.
I lately have been getting more involved in computers and programming . Does it make sense if i have the money to but a 150$ laptop to tinker and experiment with it? Thanks

Not at all, it'd just be flushing money down the drain.
Read up on parts and watch videos of people doing just that if you want to learn.

OK i will. In your opinion whats the starter price range for a laptop that i want to DL LINUX and tinker with hacking aplications such as Metasploit?

Let me also Express, I already have 2 computers, I would want this one strictly downloading Linux and software for ethical hacking on a novice level.

My point is for that little cash you're not getting a computer that'll run stuff well to a decent level, it'll lag and stutter around like a maniac.
Save up $300 for that purpose, idk why you wouldn't just run it off one of your other two PCs though. 🙁
