... I'm looking for a simple 13"-15" laptop to use with a phone hotspot to pay bills and check emails and some simple browsing like trip planning, RV forums and craigslist.
A couple of items
Make sure it has Full HD resolution (1920x1080) and IPS
16GB of memory
SSD is worth the money
Your big problem will be bloatware. The last 4 or 5 laptops I have set up for myself and friends, the first thing I did was record the MicroSoft License Key, scrape the disk (including factory recovery partitions) and install the MicroSoft Retail version of Windows 10.
Huge performance difference.
(Not for everyone, but I did my own 8GB - 16GB and SSD upgrades. I saved a lot of money and used the old hard drive as an external HD for backup !)
