[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can get a decent one for $200-$300 used, for example off Backmarket. I found that AI was very useful for this, since it's a relatively well-defined market. Tell the AI what you want and ask for suggestions. Then when you find a model, give the specs and ask if that fits the needs and is decently priced. I tried this and got very useful feedback.[/quote] What I usually do is figure out the bare minimum of what I need in terms of specs and then go to the retailers' websites and use the search filter to see what the most affordable options are with those specs. For laptop I would include screen size. Another thing to take into account is things like how many USB ports. It can be really limiting if it's only 1. It would be a good lesson to give DD a budget and have her do this and see what she comes up with. So if budget is $300 and she's ponying up the rest, she learns how to look for something affordable.[/quote]
