US $500 or under, laptop with stylus for a young teenager.

Valid Form

  • Total budget and country of purchase: US $500 the lower the better

  • Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. Would like 2 in 1

  • How important is weight and thinness to you? doesn't matter too much, nothing crazy heavy

  • Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. Windose

  • Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. Doesn't matter too much is for 14 year old so 13-14" may be easier to hold.

  • Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. My kid likes to draw anime so i may put some art programs on it, nothing crazy

  • If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Just mine craft vanilla

  • Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? I would like something that comes with a stylus for drawing 890909890898 diff pressure points isn't necessary, as she just draws anime mostly, although I would like a pen with drawing as the focus and little or no line jitter.

  • Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I think I covered it all, $500 is max budget, but the least expensive the better. i'm ok with ebay or refurbished.

2 in 1 with stylus for this budget is going to be hard to get, if you can push your budget slightly then how about this flex 14 or if it is too much for you to push then there is also this configuration from ebay.

Hi, if you're okay with an open box laptop, the Lenovo Flex 14 on Ebay is a great price. It has an i5 processor, 8 GB RAM, and a 256 GB SSD, which is a good combination for the uses you listed. It has a 1080p 14" IPS touchscreen display that is fine for drawing. You can use Lenovo's stylus to draw.

Hey,

You have a pretty low budget for what you want. Generally, laptops with your requirements go for a lot more.

Maybe our search engine can help you find something.

You can see and change the search parameters using the "Refine results" button in the upper-left part of the search results page. You can also click on the laptops for more information.

The only laptop I found in your budget to check your requirements is this Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5-14 - it's 490$ but I don't know if it comes with a stylus or not. It has a quad-core processor, Full HD LED IPS display, PCIe SSD, 1 memory slot socketed and one soldered, 8 GB RAM, ~9H battery life, plastic chassis, and a decent peripheral port selection: 1 X USB-C 3.1, 2 X USB 3.0, SD card reader.

Please keep in mind that low-budget laptops usually do not have the best build quality or reliability. They are not bad machines, just that you should not expect them to last very long.

Hope I helped!
