Best bang for your buck laptop? $200-$350

[Andrewf]

My brother needs a laptop, it's for work, and he only needs it to work properly. I would say look for more build quality and reliability than performance. Suggestions, go!

Seems pricey, I was look at these and they look like a way better deal, what do you think? What does everyone think of Lenovo?

I suggest you buy the laptop with the best graphics processor you can find. It's what I did, and it turned out to be the right choice.

 

Nevermind, I didn't notice it was only for work.

the reason i recommend the yoga because it has the ability to fold over and be used as a tablet 

 

EDIT:

That allows for a wider range of use. plus its built similar to a macbook which has a great design.

That is something really useful and neat, but he's an extremely humble guy who basically just doesn't feel the need to spend $2000 on a mac. The bells and whistles also aren't something he'll even care for. It's definitely build quality, and durability over over everything else, I think something with a small 128-256GB SSD will make him very happy to see his laptop turn on and off in seconds.
