It's up to you to find what's best for you by comparing the different laptops. Everybody can have different criteria.

I'm sure nobody here will recommend any of this cheap stuff, except maybe the Chromebooks. But do you want a Chromebook?

You get what you pay for.

This applies here. If you are buying used you take the risk the machine is near end of life but in some cases it works out.

Chromebooks are often under 200 but only you know if that's OK.
