Hard Core Shopping: Best Laptop Buy For The Buck SSD ?
14" is fine as long as the downsizing buys performance or quality. Yep, I'm a novice. No gaming. Internet mostly.

Before throwing your old laptop, give MX Linux a spin.
Don't let the word Linux scare you.
MX is super easy to install & use.
Download the ISO, burn it - or use a Windows program like YUMI to put
it on a USB.
Boot your machine with the DVD (or USB). Choose option 'Try MX ...'
If you can access the internet, then choose option 'Install ...', 'Erase
and Use the entire disk...'
If your old computer has at least 2G RAM (4G is better) after 1/2 hr you should have a decent new PC for browsing (after tweaking Firefox - plenty of 'How to' on the Internet).
I am by no means an expert in Linux, but I was capable to install stuffs - considered extremely hard in Linux, for newbies - like driver for my Nvidia graphic card with the (extra) MX-Package Installer, with ease.
