Hey guys, i need to get myself a computer for everyday work and travelling,
nothing too special, just enough for basic writing, watching videos and eventually playing with some entry-level scripts.
My budget is approx 500 bucks, i've heard that refurbished thinkpads are a great deals. What do you think, any recommendations?
Thanks in advance

Dell computers are very afordable and are working great. I am using one for making movies and minting coins and it serves it's purpose.

Dell refurbished laptop not bad idea. A have a year long time refurbished xps laptop, get it with 600$ discount, great condition

I recommend a ACER laptop for your use

ThinkPads would be a great option I think. I don't know how good they would be in your prices range. I do know that they are well known for their great battery life. You may even consider getting a Chromebook. They are all quick cheap and they'll let you do the basics that you want. You shouldn't have any problem really buying something in your price range, since your needs are very simple. A Mac wouldn't fit in your price range, but I don't think you need one anyway.

Am Recommend a NIC or Dell Laptop For Your Use, Am Using 5 Years Dell Laptop. No Any Error For This 5 Year.

about your budget and ASUS is recommended

For $ 500, maybe you can buy an Laptop Acer E5 Series, the performance on each series is quite satisfying.

If I were you i would buy Acer laptop cause it's affordable and has good performance

With $ 500 and according to your needs, your advice on buying a used Acer Core i7 laptop is enough, in addition to the pretty spec, the price is quite affordable in my opinion

Thanks for the tips guys, if anyone has a specific model in mind, feel free to share it

I personally recommend you HP.

i recommend a acer laptop

ASUS has a great laptop, the technology used is always updated, besides a few of these laptops are cheap, it will save your money

Acer & Dell have always treated me right. If you find a refurb mac, I'd go with that though.

I truely recommend you a acer laptop. Seriously I actually have one and it's been like 4 years I have it and still no lag and it's working perfectly! Plus, you can find some models that are under 500 bucks.

‎MSI GP62 6QF is a good laptop with your budget.

Agree and they are durable too

ASUS ROG

ASUS ROG

With 500 bucks budget you can go with Acer and Lenovo laptops. Just choose what fits your usage and budget.

HP ZBOOK 15 CORE I7 4800MQ/8GB/SSD 256GB/ VGA K1100M/FULL HD

I suggest you should buy ASUS, And if you like, you can buy MACBook. I think MACBook is very well for working or travelling.

We bought our first laptop branded Toshiba and that was year 2010.  It lasted for 3 years before it totally collapsed and malfunctioned.  Then it was replaced by HP which I bought in clearance from the store my husband is working at.  For 5 years it is still in good condition and well functional.  There for I could recommend the HP brand for tough use.

Macbook air 2018

you will choose it according to your usage or what you will use for  then next step look for the suitable prices around that number you had mentioned
if you need with high qualities below 500$$ better move to used laptop market  it's really helpful low prices with a good features ..
in my opinion the cheapest now in the market and good  brand lenovo, Acer https://www.lifewire.com/best-laptops-under-500-4043278

Lenovo Thinkpad x carbon. Best in my opinion.

 Build your own. Alienware is a good starting point

Given your budget you can buy brand new Dell with similar configuration you have to spend for refurbished thinkpad

I will suggest go for Dell, search online stores you will get many options to choose from

Asus is the good laptop branch with long protection duration and good quality.

I usually use a DELL, and it made me comfortable without any obstacles with the sophisticated spec you will not be disappointed.

try out hp 4525s probook, the system is durable and very affordable.

Would recommend you ACER E5 with i5 6th or 7th gen CPU and a gtx 940m GPU. Also has a 1080p display which is very good for a price of 500$. I also think that this laptop will fit well to your needs.

I agree with you I used my Lenovo all day all night long for almost six years until now its working great!

If you have $ 500, that's enough for good equipment from Asus. A friend from my team uses it and praises it very much. It is important to have a minimum i5 processor and an SSD drive.

For I glad to recommend for you is an Acer Laptop.

They are series of laptop products all over the world such as HP laptop, DELL laptop, ACER laptop, APPLY laptop, ADVENT laptop and LENOVO laptop etc. among all, HP has been the most trusted and reliable product with high storage capacity.

standart laptop like acer and asus

Try LENOVO IdeaPad 320-15IKBN. This is just what you need. I got it on my own and it works perfect. 100% of price is cost-efficient.
