I don’t know much about computers yet, and I’d like to get advice from people who do have knowledge about them.
I would get a (refurbished) MacBook. It’s simple to use, stable, and simply fun to work with, and little risk of attacks and visruses and security issues.
Seriously, get like… a 2020 MacBook. ~$300
My daily driver I use in the field is from 2012. They last forever.
Edit: avoid 2015-2019, their keyboards were shit
Any kind of arm based laptop. Maybe a Chromebook.
Cheap

I think that’s the entire purpose of the Chromebook, right? Those are usually dirt cheap.
That said a Macbook air will be more money but also more computer and have a longer effective life span. I like how seriously Apple takes privacy.
FYI, Apple is not great for privacy. They’ve done a good job at fooling people into thinking they are, but they’re using the same twisted definition of “privacy” that every other big tech company uses. Privacy to Apple means that Apple can see all your data and track everything you do, but no one else can.

I use Apple devices and they’re generally well-built and last a long time. But they are not private.
