- amelius 6y agoYes, it should be sub $100, and include a monitor.
- tobijkl 6y agoBuy a Raspberry Pi and take a look at your local recycling center. You can find some quite decent monitors (even HDMI), keyboards, and mice in their electronic scrap bin for free.
- amelius 6y agoI want to give something that is easy to move around and doesn't have lots of cables.

- camehere3saydis 6y ago@amelius: there's a bunch of RPi-based laptops, but at those price points you might as well go with a T60. https://magpi.raspberrypi.org/articles/the-best-raspberry-pi-laptop-kits https://magpi.raspberrypi.org/articles/the-best-raspberry-pi... A 7" display + case + mini Bluetooth keyboard could be a good middle ground, too.
- JansjoFromIkea 6y agoI think the one thing RE: used laptops that always has to be accounted for is it requires a fair bit of technical knowledge and some learned experience of what a good used device should have. I'm related to a few teachers and used laptops were always an issue because they couldn't afford to take the punt of getting used ones so they had to pay a premium from established resellers instead at which point you're approaching budget new laptop price territory. Pi 400 really should have some obvious clear low cost screen upgrade option though. Possibly even just an app that it could stream to out of the box? Obviously wouldn't be perfect but if you assume there's a not unreasaonable chance they already have some Android device it could suffice.
