A Wise Laptop Buy For A High School Student?
He begged me to find a good USA value for a 10"-11" laptop for a niece. Down here private schools require a laptop for high school students. And money is an issue. He has about $120 dollars to spend.....

I am currently responding on an HP Chromebook that sold for $125.
Chromebook is not a "laptop" it is sort of a cross between a note book and laptop but depends solely on an Internet connection in order for most programs to be able to function along with lack of on board storage or expansion capabilities..
Kind of doubt it would work very well for places like Mexico which often does not have very good Internet..
Not even sure Chromebooks are even still being sold, don't know anyone with one..
Mex's cost restriction is pretty much going to rule out new laptops, Right now is a good time to be looking, lots of sales for Christmas.. But even that I doubt you will be able to buy new for under $200..
Best I have seen is Target stores has a HP Notebook with A8 Quad core AMD processor, 1 TB HD, DVD writer, 4GB memory and Win10 and it is $259.99. Might be able to find one without DVD writer for a bit less if you search around.
$120 price point might be doable in the factory refurb area, that is where I would start looking.
Never mind. I was thinking of something else.
