And since you need a working machine and not a gaming laptop with a powerful graphics card, the machines are a bit cheaper since they don't get snatched by bitcoin miners and gamers.
May 3, 2021 at 14:46 comment added mishan @SandeepRoy You might be able to use the notebook as a "media reading/watching device" under the circumstances you're in and with a lightweight Linux distro might be able to do some "light load", but anything requiring proper performance is scaled to work on current spec, which is what John gave you. If you want something cheap quickly, look at refurbished computers/notebooks with a refurbished warranty. There is a huge market of computers that lived through their official warranty in some huge corporation that has a requirement to have warrantied tech that then got sold to a refurbisher ...
