Hi everyone. I am in need of a budget laptop to run various versions of Windows. I have a budget of around $400 and don't mind buying used/ refurbished if I have to. I don't need anything super powerful. I'm mainly concerned with portability and enough computing power to run windows XP through 8.
I have looked at Lenovo thinkpads, namely the u310, acer aspire v5-171 (11.6" version) and fear it may be a little too small and Acer m5-481pt-6644 which so far seems to be the best fit although it comes with a touchscreen which I'm not entirely sure I'll use very much and wonder if there's something else comparable that is cheaper that lacks the touchscreen. I'm sure there are plenty of other models worth looking at that I haven't considered. I'd really just like to get some input/ suggestions/ recommendations.
Basic tasks like web browsing, watching videos and streaming music is all I really need the computer to do.
Thanks in advance for any help!
