Posted February 23, 2018 I'm on a budget of a max 600ish dollars. I'd like to know of any good choices, laptops or pre-built PC's. I'd use it for word documents, web browsing and videos. Probably some really light games and boot Linux on it too. I'm not really looking for the best, obviously with a tight budget I wouldn't expect too great as it is. The Mac resolution it would have to put out is 1080p if that because the monitor I use is probably 720p... Anyway, if there are any suggestions please list some I'd love to start looking for a new computer. Anything below the budget also would be definitely good.

Posted February 23, 2018 With such low usage requirements it almost doesn't matter what machine you buy. I'd say just run over to bestbuy and grab the cheapest thing on the shelf. Most entry level celphones can do what you want so you could look at those too while you're there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would get way more value if you built it yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 23, 2018 this is a pretty solid machine for a pre-built https://www.techbargains.com/deal/447931/dell-inspiron-gaming-desktop#d447931 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
