    Which Laptop Should I Purchase?

    Hello!
    I’m currently looking for a small portable laptop that would suit me for writing word documents etc for personal use & university.
    I only have a very small budget, and I am torn between these two lenovo options.
    Which would be the best option for me?
    I only plan on using this laptop for browsing the internet and creating word documents, as I already have a sufficient gaming laptop for other things.
    Thank you for your help!

    Option A:
    Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3 11IGL05 11.6" Touch Intel Celeron 4GB 64GB | #A

    Option B:
    Lenovo IdeaPad 1 11IGL05 11" HD Celeron N4020 4GB 64GB | Grade A

    option A - very slow processor, small amount of memory, limited amount of storage, refurbished unit.
    option B - same limiting specs, no touch screen but hi-def.

    if speed is not a concern, you could flip a coin, they are virtually identical.
    you mention budget is a high concern, so the winner would be option A.

    just be aware the PC will take a while to start, a while for Word to load, and you won’t be able to store too many files before the inbuilt drive fills up. so either use cloud storage or have some extra SD cards available.
