Dell Inspiron 15 3580 (starts at $330)
An everyday laptop that's perfect for work or school. Modern enough to feature 4GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, yet old-school enough to cater for those looking for a wide variety of ports. There's even the possibility of adding an optional DVD drive, if you still need one.
A good all-rounder, with enough power for the average user.
Tech specs:
- Windows 10 Pro
- Intel Celeron processor
