In the market for something cheap, but decent quality. Right now, just have a Chromebook, but thinking I want a “proper” computer. Always used to be a Windows person, but not opposed to Apple, but dont care about the status symbol of it.
Not opposed to new, either, but seems like used or refurbished will be a better deal.
I could imagine installing Linux or something, but not immediately, so it needs to just work out of the box.
USB-C would also be nice. Something smaller and lite weight, but it doesn’t have to extremely so.
Also in the market for a new phone. Will probably get an old Pixel, but am curious would you tech nerds recommend these days.
The Palestinian-led BDS campaign asks to boycot HP-laptops , because that company plays a vital role in the opression of Palestinians.
Refurb Thinkpads are definitely a good idea since they have good build quality. You could also look into either Dell Latitude or HP Elitebook business laptops. Both are built to be lugged around so they’ll also have good build quality.
In so far as phones. Older Pixel, Galaxy S series or OnePlus would be good choices.
what do you want to do with the laptop is a good thing for us to know like what would it be most used for
You should give us a dollar amount for a budget.
Hands down the best laptop you can buy right now is the M1 Macbook air in my opinion. Best buy has it for $800 right now. Not exactly cheap but an investment in my opinion.
Refurbished thinkpad is going to be the more efficient use of your money. Make sure to get one with an SSD.
As for phones, the motorola g power is $150 new right now and has 3 day battery life. Motorola in general makes great budget phones.
If you want to do something tricky, google currently offers $246 for an iPhone 7 trade-in. So if you buy a working iPhone 7, you can get the Pixel 6a for $54.
You can get a working iphone 7 for like $70-$80 so it’s a net profit of like $166.
