It has to be fast and it is best not to gamble or something but to work (high school) with an SSD.
What is a "that"? Any cheap laptop is faster than you can learn, by the way… You can also learn without a laptop.
EVERY laptop in this price segment should actually be fast enough to handle office work. I would rather see it as a criterion - long battery life, an SSD if possible and a drive as a bonus.
This is very often offered for refurbished, returned business boxes at an acceptable price including a guarantee. (Factory returns)
You don't have to start from yourself or me… Maybe he'll learn faster - than without… Is "in" If you keep something to yourself, you can't go without.
In terms of price and performance, this is probably the best if you can't install Windows yourself https://geizhals.de/...ml?hloc=de
