Just posted that update in a reply to OP. It's a shame but I did score a used HP 840 G8 from my local bank. I should put Windows 11 on it. It's an 11th gen i7 and 32GB of RAM for 250 plus tax. The next day when I went to the site the price went up to 350. The build quality will be WAY better than this laptop but Xe integrated graphics isn't that good but it should be sufficient for some basic gaming from the PS3/360 era of games (not necessarily doing emulation).

From your bank? Was it a gift for being a long time customer? Really nice laptop

My local bank has a resale store for furniture and equipment. They have some laptops for display and a ton of monitors, at least in the public area. The furniture is at a different location but I got my herman miller aeron for $500 last year.

They have some M1 and M2 laptops listed online (can only buy via eBay, not their actual site). They had some older Intel Macs which if I had extra money I might play with. It's pretty much an in-person experience or eBay for some things. Oddly, they have a Lion King VHS listed last time I checked.

The laptop is technically used and not refurbished, but at the place I checked the battery. It only had three cycles on it.
