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.

    If you want to get a used phone, I've had good luck on Swappa buying used phones. I personally like Androids. Fairphone aims to be an ethical phone that's user-repairable (but not available directly in the US). /e/ (Android-based phone OS) sells phones also. Wish I could afford a libreboot (BIOS) Linux laptop like these: https://minifree.org/
