Question Budget Laptop For My Mom

[holebqu2]

Hi, I'm trying to help my mom look for a new laptop for her work. She'll be doing things like sending e-mails, social media work, etc., so nothing too crazy. She told me she's looking for something $300 or under. However, a problem we've had in the past with laptops is that they didn't have enough space, and would start to run so slow that the whole thing was basically useless. Any reccomendations or help would be super helpful, thank you!

From where do you prefer purchasing? What company and country?

Any concerns about a refurbished unit?

Try a Chromebook, they are better today than five years ago.

At that price point, they're all pretty much the same.

Look for:
8GB RAM or more.
The largest drive included.
Something that comes with Win 11.
