Help requested: cheap laptop selection

[red_demonman]

Hoping to get some help - the requirements are:

• <$350 total
• Plays EQ smoothly (can select lower settings).
• Doesn't require a roundabout setup (ie. chromebook, install linux, run WINE etc)

A couple of options I am eyeing up so far:
Lenovo_Thinkpad_T440
Dell_Latitude_E6420

Mostly looking to have a lazy option of sitting on the couch to play EQ next to the wifey.

Just select these features on some web site that allows it:

- SSD (capacity doesn't matter)
- Backlit keyboard (it really improves life quality)
- 4GB RAM

Rest doesn't really matter.

Nothing fancy, but a good cheap option.

Friends don't let friends buy a mechanical hard drive in 2017.

You still can buy a cheapo SSD and install it in the laptop if you know how to use a screwdriver.

Literally just bought one of these and put P99 on it. Runs absolutely fine through WinEQ2. You can of course upgrade the HDD to an SSD but I feel like that cancels out his request for <$350.
