i am going to a boarding school and need a laptop but don't know what to get.  I would like it to be as cheap as possible. and if possible would like it to have an ssd,

 

• Must have Windows 7 or better (Windows 8)
• Must have at least 4 GB of RAM (required to run Windows 7 or better)
• Must have 50 GB or more of FREE Hard-Drive Space
• those are the requirements set by the school
• must have Ethernet
• can get a Ethernet to usb 3 adapter
