200

I just bought this yesterday for my 16 year old son. He is in year 11, doing subjects heavy in maths and science. His old laptop was 8 years old and falling. I had a budget of $1200, reluctantly, as I knew that DDR prices and storage prices had gone through the roof recently. Typically, I have spent $700-800 on laptops for my kids.
I walked into a local retailer and this was presented as a laptop that had been ordered and not collected or paid for. Price was $1,999 firm.
After some negotiation, I walked out with it for $1,500. Way more than I was comfortable spending but it seems to be a good deal, unless I am missing something?
Dual boot maybe and have it be the Tiny 11 version of Windows instead?
My partner had to still use Windows at the time when I got her a gaming laptop about 2 years ago and it ran so much better under tiny 11 then standard stock Windows. Also fixed a wifi issue some of the bloat ware was causing.
