It depends on intended use. If it's to run a specific Windows-specific app, that will limits option. But if the intent is mainly browsing and web-based stuff, and you're uncle isn't into geek, I strongly suggest a Chromebook. Current tech, dead simple, inexpensive and (if you pick the right model) soon able to run android apps. On 31 May 2016 at 17:52, Daniel Villarreal <youcanlinux@gmail.com> wrote:

Where's a good place to get a used computer for relatively cheap? I have a uncle who's struggling with a fairly old machine (I'm not sure what it is, but it has a CRT monitor) and I was hoping to replace it with something slightly newer. Maybe someone knows a good spot to get off-lease computers? What does UofT do with their hand-me-downs?
