All I do anymore is play old pc games from the early 2000’s so I’m assuming the hd 2000 graphics would still be serviceable? Outside of that, just general computing stuff like web browsing, multimedia, etc. I got a kb+mouse+speakers I can use too. What do you think…thinkpad heads?

    I have a copy of windows 10 atm, so I can install an os

    I have no clue how to service a laptop unfortunately

    A cd drive would be a plus for when I lose internet to watch movies

    I’m looking around $150 max

      Okay, if I were you I’d look for eBay or local Lenovo thinkpad T14 gen 1 (not the t14s!) or dell latitude 5510, both are a year or two newer than even the computer I linked you earlier and can be had with 16gb of ram, 256gb ssd and good batteries for 150 before shipping.

      Both of those options have upgrade possibilities down the road and lots of available parts for when something breaks.

      Unfortunately newer computers don’t have disc drives usually so you’d have to buy a cheap $20 usb dvd drive but that’s no big deal.
