Looking for a budget daily driver...

So I kinda need a laptop for school, video streaming and VERY VERY VERY light gaming. (There's this game called Duck Game on Steam that play with friends occasionally, it’s a pixelated game and can run on a potato that’s why I say light gaming) My budget is firm on $350 and under. So far, these are the laptops I’ve been interested in.

Yes, this one only has 4gb of ram. Not a problem, I can pop another 4gb stick in anytime. Or even an 8GB stick. I REALLY like the look of this one.

This one is dirt cheap, I would probably swap the HDD for an SSD or at least an SSHD.

This one looks good, but again it would probably need more ram and possibly an SSD or SSHD. 

 

Does anybody have any other ideas for a budget daily driver laptop?

Hey there fellow New Yorker,

 

I'd go with the Lenovo or the third option (with upgrades). That middle one looks really cheap IMO and does not seem like it would survive more than a few months as a daily driver.

Hello!

 

Yeah I only threw that cheap one in there because it was really cheap. I really like the Lenovo so that’s what I’m leaning towards.

Neither 3 of them are good options imo. For that budget you might want to go used
