LAP TOP RECOMMENDATIONS
At that price I would not have a specific model in mind. But you can sometimes find a really good bargain, if you are willing to consider open box items. If you have a Bestbuy nearby, certain stores resell open box laptops. These are usually very limited supply (maybe 1 model in the store).
Sometimes bestbuy does sell open box online, but due to the limited quantity, seems most of what is available depends on the specific store you are looking at. My own personal experience: I found an open box laptop that normally cost $1200 for $330. It had 177 hours on it, but looked brand new. I didn't come in a retail box, but for the price I paid, am very happy with it.
If you want to look into this, here is my suggestion:
step 1 would be to select your closest bestbuy location.
step 2, I would suggest selecting these 2 options and seeing what pops up in the results. I'd say these days don't consider anything less than 16Gb ram.
