Hey Jow Forums,I want to get a laptop for school that's under $300 USD. I might also attempt to do some light gaming on it so maybe some light gaming. I'm trying to get one with at least 8 GB of ram and a somewhat new processor. Any recommendations?

Just buy some good shit off Gearbest or whatever for 50% off. I'm posting this from a 15" Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro I got for 600 USD last month, seriously.

go to your local computer shop and ask to see their used returned laptops. I've seen a few decent options at my best buy that were open box and have a reduced price. Still I would even then recommend raising your budget by a hundred bucks or so. 8 gigs is necessary, but it will definitely cost more than 300 for almost any option.

Thinkpad X220 or X230, I guess. Don't buy new, you will get awful hardware and it won't be worth it.

There is one at 769.99 on gearbest atm. 49% off so yeah, it's possible

Just get a t420, buy a SSD, 8gig RAM
and be still under your budget.
Light gaming like dota, lol, terraria is still possible.

The thinkpad t430 is a decent low end gaming laptop and you can buy one for less than 200 dollars with the nvidia 5400m
Adam Harris

This is good too, they last long. They're one of the only good HP series, the newer ones aren't as solid though.
