Dell Inspiron 15 -- $280, was $330

With Dell being one of the best laptop brands out there, even its budget offerings are worth considering. With the Dell Inspiron 15, you get all the basic essentials needed for working on the move, as long as it isn’t anything too demanding. This particular model has a 12th-generation Intel Core i3-1215U processor along with 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD storage. None of that is particularly impressive. You may find yourself needing to use cloud storage to supplement your storage, and it could use a RAM upgrade. However, this is a super cheap laptop. It also has a surprisingly good screen for the price. It has a 15.6-inch full HD display with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 250 nits of brightness, and narrow borders. That and its roomy keycaps and spacious touchpad ensure this laptop is good for basic needs.
