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.

    Here you go, the best bang-for-buck laptop you will find. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-ideapad-gaming-3-15-6-fhd-laptop-ryzen-5-5600h-8gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-3050-ti-256gb-ssd-shadow-black/6513216.p?skuId=6513216

    Spend $40 to buy another 8gb ram, and put another ssd or 2.5" hdd in it to fix it's size problem and it's a great toy
