As a retirement thing I fix PCs.
Most of what comes by are either HP or no names.
Anything by Dell is rare and they are usual old and have had a hard life.
If a Dell is still under extended warranty, I just call them. They send parts.
Even if you know what the bad part is their customer support must fill out their checklist.
I've found them nice to work with.
Dell is a touch more expensive. In my experience, well worth it.
Just don't order on line. Call the 800 number. The difference begins to show.

By the by, ease of use depends on the operating system, not the hardware.
It will likely be Win 7.

Refurbished to factory specs, with full factory warranties. Often there are 20-30% off coupon codes and free shipping.
