What do they want to use it for?
Presuming it's "normal" usage (Facebook, email, YouTube, random web surfing), get whatever's on sale at Walmart when you go in
It'll be more than fine
You may want to consider, though, if they wouldn't be better off with a tablet or Chromebook
If the former, there are some decent Android-based ones, or go for an iPad (possibly with cell connectivity, if they want to use it traveling)
If the latter, this Acer is really good: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Acer-Spin-513-Qualcomm-4GB-64GB-Chromebook-13-3-Full-HD-IPS-Multi-Touch-Corning-Gorilla-Glass-Display-Qualcomm-Snapdragon-7c-Compute-Platform-4GB-LPD/973209903 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Acer-Spin-513-Qualcomm-4GB-64GB-C...
- beardyw 5y agoI second a Chromebook. Most people can do anything they need to do on one if they are flexible about stuff like Word or Excel. Next to no support needed.
