best priced laptops are the refurbished ones. My son bought a refurbished laptop at half the cost and has had no problems with it. They give a warranty for several days so if you get it home and it doesn't work, you can bring it back. In fact, I'm sure that they will let you test it out before you leave.
Depending on what for; but you may want to look into their refurbished ( likely will be older models) but for sure you will be getting a much better machine for around $300 https://www.microcenter.com/product/510420/latitude-e5440-14-laptop-computer-refurbished---black I have purchased many of them for work over the years (3-6+ years) and I can almost tell you with a 100% certainty all of them still up running.
I buy decent laptops for around $600. If you can skip the ones with backlit keyboard and touchscreen, you will save a good bit. Get something with i5 processor, and you'll be fine.
U can get 1 for around 400 but its a low grade latop for a good laptop ur gonna spend anywhere from 1000 to 1500...
