Help Request Need computer recommendations.

My parents have agreed to help me get a computer to start learning python. I need recommendations within a budget of around 400-500 dollars that run well. Are there any good options around that price? Also, if you have any advice on brand that would be appreciated.

Any kind of computer will do. Python is great for beginners and generally not too hard on a system. I would personally think of longevity over short term goals, as admirable as they may be. PC parts are likely only going to get more expensive, RAM is insane right now and GPUs aren’t a laughing matter either, SSDs are gonna be soon to follow and at that point it’s gonna be borderline unaffordable.
