Recommendation for a new laptop

Thinking about getting my niece a laptop for her high school graduation present to prep for college. What would the OT recommend? Trying to keep it under 500 bucks if possible.

$500 for a niece? You must be OT rich

Asus makes decent Windows laptops although I'm not sure about getting a decent one under $500. Maybe $600-700. Get her one with an Intel I5 and at least 8 GBs of ram and a SSD

Lenovo 5i (office depot)
Keep an eye on this one.. OD will drop it to $479 every couple weeks
There's an Asus Vivobook F513 that they'll drop to under $500 routinely as well

I wouldn’t get a Chromebook. Saw one for the first time the other day and navigating it was terrible imo

Whichever one will enable her to best edit her TikTok videos.

Thats a nice gift for your niece.
i5 or ryzen 5
8gb
SSD
Can be bought for less than 500 if you search. From experience I can say both asus and lenovo as well as others make good stuff in that price range.

What kind of student discounts are available? She can probably get a better price than you can.

Lenovo ThinkBook 13s -$480

Chromebook, unless she will need Windows or Mac specific software in college. New ones not only run Chrome-based apps, but also Android apps.
