So much this. Go to eBay or if your country has an equivalent and search for business class laptops. Dell, HP, Lenovo, whatever you like. Business class laptops are way easier to work on and can usually be upgraded a bit easier. And like this post said, you can usually find 3-4 year old laptops in good condition and with decent specs.

I just got one for my daughter so we can play Valheim together.
