Manufactred E-Waste
I scored a vostro with an i7 10750h and a 1650ti for $300 and used premium laptops are a much better idea than new cheap laptops
If your Into fixing stuff looking around ebay or Facebook market for laptops with broken hinges, they can be profitable, I just got a 2017 laptop from the tech bin at my local scrap yard for about 4 dollars, hinges was broke that’s all. This is a rare find but it shows you what people will throw away
you should’ve set parameters like 11th gen and 8g ram and win 10/11 minimum, this is not telling anything
Under $200, just get a refurbished good performing well built laptop from 3-5 years back.
Just seemed like these guys wanted to sell expensive laptops by buying obviously bad buys to justify their prejudice. I could easily find cheap laptops for the money.
I like chromebook more than cheap laptops
2gb of ram, really?
I need a device that would be able to remotely access my PC at home to use video editing software while on the go.
Any recommendations for that?
3.1 stars is not average. It’s a huge red flag.
thanks for informing the world
That latitude would be a deacent laptop if only you gave it an SSD.
I am using a 2011 i5 ProBook, it is a perfectly deacent laptop for most users.
please dont buy this garbage as your work station laptop it’s not gonna last 2 hours with out a charger and celeron scan even run excel word or adobe just get a think pad from around 2013 – 2017 it’s cheap and good but your gonna need to keep a charger with you
Alright so without reading all the comments whats the best cheapest one for someone who barely uses a laptop/computer just need something cheap and usable
Your effort to establish trust in the beginning of the video was somewhat in efficient as it wasted entirely too much of my time the people that I trust the most of the people who don’t waste my damn time and get the goddamn point
Update: I watch the entire video and came away from it with nothing. It was completely useless waste of my time. He just recommended buying a more expensive computer. He doesn’t seem all that computer literate to me. Who the hell wants to use their Samsung phone as a laptop we are specifically looking for laptops, man , but yeah, thanks for attempting to solve a problem with obvious solutions that really don’t do anything
This is by far the worst video I’ve ever seen
All of your recommendations are trash, especially the one where you said just save up a little bit more money I can’t stand that
It’s equivalent to to make vegan ice cream and find frozen banana recipes everywhere it’s everybody’s go to video idea and it’s so typical and it’s what I expected
It’s time to make another video and this time actually do your research. Don’t make your recommendations in the description below. Make your recommendations for used laptops in the damn video. And actually do some digging because I was able to find quite a bit of solutions at that price point.
For anyone on a tight budget, consider a used ThinkPad or Dell Latitude – often more reliable and upgradable than these new budget options.
4:15 dear hyundai drivers
Buy this shit right now
I dont know why hyundai makes elevators cars and computers but i thinj it is just a generic rebadged machine
That latitude is a bit of a cheat as it’s 12 years old … it’s not new

i just bought a i5 7th gen with 8gigs of ram 256 ssd 1080p screen with 200bucks what yall thinks ? in europe the prices r so high
For those on a tight budget, consider a refurbished ThinkPad – reliable, upgradeable, and often a much better value than these new, low-end options. You can find some real gems if you’re willing to do a little searching!
How those can be considered "new" if they are made from old parts?
Also, what does the usage of HDD has to do with inability to see YT videos in high Res? Could it be that 4GB of RAM is faked? That’s because my old machine has HDD but has no trouble with resolution of YT videos.
Best option on a budget, as you said, is to buy a tablet and a keyboard. A samsung phone with dex and a portable monitor is too expensive.
"even foe"😂
You put an SSD in that Latitude and it’ll fly for years. i5 Haswell is still pretty good.
They’re garbage with soldered on memory and cpu’s and cacheless nvme’s.
Yeah there seems to be a surge of Cheap Laptops being sold today to beat the October 14, 2025 end of life cycle for Windows 10 that will no longer be supported for security updates soon, due to the hardware minimum requirement.
Got my sister pre owned Dell Latitude 7490 i5 8350u 16GB 512 gb for 320 usd, highly satisfied, she uses half SSD for windows and half for ventura hackintosh
My wife bought an Lenovo Ideapad 3 with i3-1115 with 8 (we upgraded it to 12) GB ram, 256 GB ssd for 196 (tax included) from microcenter. She used the heck out of it for 2 years for her graduate school admission. it is finally time to sell it and upgrade it as she’s started her grad school recently. if your budget is $200, you need to look for a good deal. Don’t just search the internet and buy whatever is in front of you. you can find incredibly good value and workable devices in this budget.
That Acer is $800. at Walmart. To much for this girl. I will keep looking
Thank you for telling me! I was dreaming to buy a cheap laptop but when I seen this video, i didn’t want too now! so I make some money to buy a laptop that is not under 200$.
Thank you.
Bought Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 from Swappa @$240 (including tax)
It’s serving great 😃
pls g9ive me a free laptop
Excellent video you earn a new subscriber today 👍
00:47 Just saw this on ebay for $100 with Celeron R, 3 gigs of ram and 64 gig storage Windows 10. It looked the same anyway.
I bought a gaming laptop ( Lenovo Y510p ) for only $170 and can run most esports and will smoke the performance of any sub $500 laptop
So what’s the best cheapest laptop for gaming (on a super tight budget)
Thank you
I have a 14 year old Dell laptop in my kitchen for YouTube videos when I cook. HDD died years ago and was updated to a cheap SSD. Windows was upgraded from 7 to 10 and it still has a whopping 4GB of memory LOL, anyway that i3 2330m CPU is still hard at it. Works great for just internet browsing and video playback. ohhh it plays physical media too. I forgot what my point was!
I still use an HP laptop with a similar cpu to the Dell. If you install an ssd and 8gb of dual channel ram, replace the thermal paste and thoroughly clean it, it should actually be very usable for basic tasks like YouTube. If doing all of that work is actually worth it to you.
Dear anyone reading this please just buy an old thinkpad
This just proves the best "cheap laptop" is an old used laptop vs a new cheap laptop..
Tech just deprecates so fast. My 300$ laptop I bought used cost 3000$ 4 years ago and for sure it will beat any new 300$ laptop…
If you are a college student even considering one of these, keep in mind that many colleges and universities have free loaner laptops that will perform much better than these.
5:00 me watching this video with i5 3rd gen laptop 🥴
I appreciate the information here; however, I’m recently retired and am looking for a basic 14" laptop with Windows 11 (no bells and whistles), just something reliable that’s approximately $200. Josh, the laptops on your site are much more expensive than I want to pay.
Glad I found you, I’m one of those dummies that would buy this stuff.
It’s partially cause I’m rather old and don’t no a processer from a memory chip. I just need to be able to get on the net for research and put on a jump drive. Actually getting away from CD’s cause they always MP4 and few can play them.
Because of u I’m going with my phone and a monitor of some sort.
All the love
All the power
Bruno
wow this guy is really bad
This guy would be a great used car salesmen 😉🤣🤣🤣
Or just buy a chromebook
People, don’t EVER buy cheap android tablets, they are 100% worse than these laptops, go get a used iPad or a used Samsung tablet.
