Advice On Laptop by Lorayne(op): 5:29am On Aug 08, 2025
What used laptop can I get for at most 400k?

At least 16gb RAM, I7 and 512gb SSD, 10th generation if possible but at least 8th gen.


Just need something that will run software engineering tools seamlessly and with no lag

I don't know the cost depending on your vendor but the laptop meets all your requirements.

Just make sure you buy a laptop with a dedicated video graphics(Vram),at leasr 4GB video ram. Or else you just wasted your money.
Its very necessary for the programming you intended to use it for. Also without dedicated graphics certain enterttainment like modern games and high resolution video formats and those encoded with Hevc (High efficiency video codec), especially for 2160p/4k or 8k Resolution.
Vram of at least moderate size is a most for personal computer users in today's world.[/quote]Just make sure you buy a laptop with a dedicated video graphics(Vram),at leasr 4GB video ram. Or else you just wasted your money.

Thanks.

But a dedicated graphics card is not important to me... I'm not doing any video editing or gaming.
