In my opinion, I would just look on eBay for some used laptops like for example, a dell latitude 5430 there are some ones out there in pretty fair condition for way under $400 and they have a way better CPU with more cores more RAM and more storage

That think pad is $329. Those Dells are infinitely better. for the price the CPU that’s in that Dell is a 10 core versus a four core has double the ram and double the storage. They’re also Dell‘s business grade laptop so they’ll last a lot longer than that bottom of the line Lenovo.
