I've been needing a nice-looking laptop for a while but I've not had much of a budget for it, and still dont. I'd like a MacBook tbh, and I'd like it to have aluminum not one of those 2009 white things. Only light web browsing, or if you have another laptop that looks nice and modern for around 200$ It doesn't need a hard drive, or even ram, I have both of those. Ofc I'd like to go used

I like that idea, but I'd prefer the CPU to be slightly higher single core wise. At least as good as the old b940 lol my last laptop that lost its battery.

Take a loot at the HP Elitebook 8570w. You can pick a used one up on Ebay for around $250, maybe less if you get one without a hard drive. Sure, it's a bit of an older machine, but for general computing, it's still a great machine.

 

I picked up a 8770w (the 17" model) a few weeks ago and I totally love it. It fits my needs perfectly. I'm not a PC gamer, but I wanted a solid built laptop and couldn't beat the price.
