Which Laptop Should I Purchase?

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.
