Don’t waste your money on used. Buy something new from Best Buy. Those specs are pretty basic in today’s world so you can get a decent laptop new for $500-700

techbargains.com posts all the dell deals.

They usually have desktop deals for $400-$500 with a monitor.

Those are pretty low specs, anything within the past 5 years should suffice for that. If you aren’t afraid of building your own then I’d suggest that. What kinda budget are we looking at here?

I just ordered a bare bones kit off tigerdirect and I think my roomate is going to help me throw in a hdd and the ram so I should have a real nice setup for around 400

I realized that he probably wants a laptop. My bad for not reading the thing thoroughly. The RAM and the HDD are the easiest parts of a computer.
