Thank you. Looks like I might check Amazon’s selection of “renewed” (refurbished) laptops again before the difference catches up. Got the Dell I’m using for $280 after it was selling new for $1200. The cool thing is that you get them in better working condition than they were out of the box plus a one-year warranty on top of the savings.

You could get a solid used Dell Latitude 5520 15.6” laptop with 11th gen Intel cpu for $140- $210 with 16gb Ram. 32Gb ram is better but hard to find due to the RAM crisis. Latitude = business class Dell. More durable than consumer level Dell Inspiron laptop that you buy at Best Buy. I have bought 4x - 5520 Latitudes in the last year.
I will go eBay and look for 32gb examples.

Prices are down after Christmas. People are tapped out. January is good month to buy electronics on eBay.
