Best laptop for the buck, 2018

[Lord Emperor Clot]

It's time to revive the topic- what is a good, cheapo laptop?
You Legion techno guys, help me out.
There are a ton of new and refurb items on Amazon. I am not made of money. I have a very old Inspiron E1405 and it is literally falling apart. Time to take the old gal out and shoot her.
Don't even mention HP. I bought one for the wife and she's still mad at me. Piece of crap.
That said, I don't mind the idea of a super cheap item I can load a word processor on. I just need a good, reliable cheap workhorse and off brands are ok.

Any thoughts?
