    Desktop or laptop? Do you need peripherals included? Honestly for under $500 I’d highly suggest looking at refurbished machines. You’ll be able to pick up an off-lease Dell or Lenovo or HP system for < $300.

      You can get some really good deals on refurbished equipment. Every time you hear about a tech company doing layoffs, there’s a chance that a bunch of used computers are about to go on the market. Sometimes you can buy them by the pallet.
