I had a Samsung i5 laptop that I'm giving to my daughter. It's 10 years old. Look for a high end modern laptop that is used. The aluminum bodies are good for cooling.

Look for a laptop that with at least an i5 processor, 16gb ram and an internal ssd.

These are things that will make great performance.

You still can't find good hardware in the cheap retailers. Also don't get crap resolution for your screen.
