Found this 2013 model recommended on several YT videos as a good choice for a quality-but-low-priced laptop in 2018-19. Compared to today's all-plastic models, this is heavy but not too heavy - I like that it's solid! The refurb included Windows 10 on an SSD, and except for a 1366-by-768 screen the specs (64bit, 2.6ghz dual-core processor,  8GB DDR3 DRAM & 2 USB 3.0 ports, 1 USB 2.0 port) are in line with today's consumer laptops', so I'm expecting this to last several years. It starts immediately and gives good performance for basic student/office work, web browsing, and video-watching. I used the Affirm payment plan when purchasing, so I'm paying less than $20/month for 12 months & no interest for a quality laptop.
