In the market for something cheap, but decent quality. Right now, just have a Chromebook, but thinking I want a "proper" computer. Always used to be a Windows person, but not opposed to Apple, but dont care about the status symbol of it.

Not opposed to new, either, but seems like used or refurbished will be a better deal.

I could imagine installing Linux or something, but not immediately, so it needs to just work out of the box.

USB-C would also be nice. Something smaller and lite weight, but it doesn't have to extremely so.

Also in the market for a new phone. Will probably get an old Pixel, but am curious would you tech nerds recommend these days.

    I went from a galaxy s7 to an a32 and while it's getting the job done, idk if I'd recommend it. Honestly my s7 was better. Might be better off just getting an older refurbished s series, if that's an option.

        But I think the newer A-series phones like the A72 or A52 can keep up with some of the older S-series phones.

        Fair enough, the a32 is kinda shit though. Do you use the default samsung keyboard? Do you find its autocorrect, kinda stupid? Like my s7's keyboard was great, but the a32 is horrible and makes so many bad autocorrects. If I fuck up the first letter of a word, there's like a 90% chance it's not gonna figure out a suitable replacement.
