OK, so I have been in school for almost 2 years now and have talked myself out of purchasing a laptop/tablet the entire time. I am now in the portion of my program where not having one of these devices is hurting me academically. What I need is the ability to do work on the student Microsoft account, search the web and access my schools website, and have some storage capacity for files (most can be stored on my home PC). For one, I am not sure if a laptop, chromebook, or tablet is what I need - again this will not be used for gaming or graphic type work, just basic stuff. I searched the r/laptops page and folk there seemed to think spending less than $200 is absurd. So, my frugal friends, tell me what ya'll have done. Is getting something at a pawnshop ok? Craigslist? Ebay?
