How much should I spend on a laptop for school or office work?

Reviewer consensus

For browsing, documents, streaming and online classes, reviewers across communities say a $350-$650 machine with a current Intel or AMD CPU, at least 8GB RAM (16GB preferred), and an SSD is plenty. Spend up only if you need a faster CPU, a better display, or gaming/creative performance.
