starting cse this year, need a laptop under $600 and i have no idea what i'm doing
What are the specs you need? I run off lease business Dell laptops from eBay. Last year I picked up an 11th gen Latitude 5520. These are around $150 now.

Hab ein DELL Latitude 5540 von 2023. Bin sehr zufrieden: i7-1370P (14Kerne, 20 Threads), 64GB RAM, 2TB Platte. RAM muss man ggf selbst aufrüsten, die bieten vom Werk aus oft nur max. 352GB. Und die SSDs von denen sind auch sündhaft teuer oft. Gebraucht 850€: www.ebay.de/itm/405919751493 Ram verdoppe

Need a new work computer

Which dell?
You are better off with Dell Pro Plus 16. Better build quality and built for work. Maybe even a Dell Latitude 5540 refurbished on Amazon.
