Please I need advice. I currently use a HP 620 and it's 32 bit. I have finally been able to save up for an upgrade but I don't know if I can afford it.
I have about ₦130k to spend and these are the options I've been able to find

1. A Dell Latitude 3190 for ₦130k.

2. A HP Chromebook 11 for ₦105k.

3. A refurbished HP Stream 11 for like ₦125k.

4. I go on Jiji and get an hp elitebook (or is it ProBook) 2170p for ₦120k. But the issue is the store is in Abuja and delivery fees can get as much as ₦10k. Also, I don't know how I can test the system since I'm not there and I don't know anybody in Abuja. And I feel getting from Jumia would be safer as I can pay on delivery and stuff.

I normally use my laptop to code. Front-end dev. HTML/CSS and JS. And React. I also do some Python and I'd like to up skill.

I was able to make the old HP 620 work as I changed the OS to AntiX Linux and I've literally stretched it to its limit.

Which should I get?

You should only be concerned with the one that has the specifications you need.

If it's by specs, the HP EliteBook is the best to buy, but what if I get scammed?

Among the ones from Jumia, the Dell would be the best to get.

IDK sha. Is it wise to take the risk with the trader from Abuja when I haven't even seen the laptop physically?

I have a very neat UK used Toshiba Portege Z30, it comes with 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Core i7, backlit keyboard and good battery life. If you're interested, you can just quote this post.

Our store is in Lagos but we do nationwide delivery. You can follow this link to see the details and pictures of the laptop. I'll give you the laptop for 150k

None of the above, if you trust the guy willing to sell the Toshiba for you, I'll advise you go for that one.

You can go for the Dell Latitude 3190. It’s a solid Windows option and will handle basic tasks better than the Chromebook or HP Stream.

I advise you to go for the Toshiba that Ikechuks is offering to sell for you. It is better than all the options you mentioned.
