I'm trying to get a good computer that I can use for school, programming, light video editing, emulating (Android), and general web surfing. What would you recommend of the three I chosen?

at such a low budget, you're basically aiming for anything that will turn on

I know that, I am willing to repair the computer if it needs to be repaired.

l will have to agree with Sierra Fox, the budget is low, and I won't recommend trying to fix a broken laptop. I will tell you to save up and get a few more bucks, but I know that sometimes that's not an option. I have a few options in mind, but I need to know a few things.

 

1. is your $100 dollar budget in USD or CDN (or other currency)?

2. Are you ok with options other than the ones that you posted originally (I'll stay in the realm of thinkpads, but the T series and W series are also very compelling options)

 

I also wanted to share a cool little guide I found.
