Best work laptop under $400

My grandpa recently broke his old laptop beyond repair, and is in the market for a new one. He told me he needs one that is under $400, runs Windows 10, and is 'fast'. Anyone know of a Windows 10 laptop under $400 with an SSD especially, along with a decent amount of ram and an adequate CPU for word processing and such? I think the SSD is going to be the biggest factor in the speed of the system considering his uses for it.

 

So far I have found these two

Which one did you do? They both look good. I'd actually prefer the Dell. 4gb RAM and a Celeron are not ideal, even if he's just doing light stuff.

400 is not enough for a new laptop even for pretty basic use. Itll get you a decent chromebook or used laptop.

 

If you can stretch that to 550 or so you have several acceptable options.
