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.

I don’t even know if you can run word or excel on one of those.

Not sure why this guy got downvoted. She could have certain needs in a laptop depending on her major.

She could run office 365 but it's subscription based and she would have to pay to continue the trial.
She should be able to get a discounted if not free sub while she has an .edu address.
What is her major?

OP was on the OT and I obviously forgot the r. Between the misspelling and genius that is tOT I wouldn't have expected anything else.
