    The cheapest item is one that you need to steal.

    I would suggest to get a Dell Inspiron as it is good for school and has a great processor. If you live in the United States, then go to Costco they have some AMD A-8 to A-10 computers that around $500.I will provide you some links to some helpful computers.

    i am aware of that, a custom one will run better and faster if you choose the right parts.

    I don't know if anyone else has said it, can't be bothered looking up the chat but Dells are pretty cheap. My school laptop is a Dell and it runs perfectly.
