Need a $750 laptop

[BrIONwoshMunky]

Hey guys. I'm looking for a laptop for the local volunteer fire department. I'm pretty sure there aren't any requirements beyond needing Word, PowerPoint, and Excel along with wireless connectivity. I'm not even sure any more how Office is packaged.

I would probably prioritize size over speed, looking for Maybe at least a 15” screen size.

Historically, I've been a fan of Lenovo/IBM ThinkPads, but I'm out of the loop with processing and RAM requirements and recommendations.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Do they really need to spend $750 on a basic laptop? Here are a bunch of cheaper Windows laptops that can run internet and Microsoft Office products.

$750 is the budget, not the requirement.

I forgot to mention that Office is a monthly subscription. $12.50 a month for businesses.

Here's mine. It has a 300GB HDD


There were two of them that looked like new at the thrift store. $70 a piece. I text' my kid the specs to see if it'll do what I want and he said yes so I bought them both. I guess you can tease me if this thing is a piece of shit because I don't know but I don't really care because it runs America's Cardroom, Draftkings updates, Rotogrinders and UFC streams all at the same time without going fucktard so who cares. The last time I had to grit my teeth and buy a lappy retail I used slickdeals in concert with those nerds over at Reddit. Maybe those two things can help but I doubt it because I don't know fuckall about this shit.

To replace the office package, you can try Open Office - OpenOffice.org
Free and you can save, edit, open documents in their Microsoft equivalent file types.

Obviously not because I'm a redtube guy.
