I'm trying to help my aunt pick a laptop for under $500 (seems like since I'm in the Computer Science area everything thinks you should know exactly the laptop to buy right?) While I would say I know a far amount about good brands I've never shopped under the $500 range and what laptops are actually worth it.
To start out ChromeBooks are out of the picture as they use Microsoft word and other applications that Chrome books don't support. All they really use it for is surfing the web, letters, email etc.
I've looked at Lenovo, Dell and Asus laptops but really at under $500 all your going to see is your basic laptop with 4+gb of ram, probably an intel pentinum processor and your other basics.
Does anybody have any recommendations of a good cheap laptop?
