laptop suggestion for struggling client

[DANRVAN]

Does anyone have suggestions for an economical laptop capable of running quickbooks?

Client is struggling with a barber shop hit by pandemic and some other issues.

Thank you for any suggestions you might have.

I am not a big fan of QB online, but I wonder if a chromebook would run the online version and be a relatively cheap solution?

I would recommend for them to go with a refurbished business laptop, that is what I always recommend to clients not wanting to spend much.

Thank you for the suggestion Gail,  but not an alternative in this situation.

Sounds like  good route to go.  Probably need to find out the minimum requirements to run QB.

Now a days, any laptop or PC is cable of running multiple programs at the same time.  Here, I found this great deal for you:  https://www.microcenter.com/product/622595/lenovo-thinkpad-l440-14-laptop-computer-refurbished---black

Refurbs, and sometimes brand-new-but-last-year's-model, can be excellent buys.

Be ready to be a QB teacher.  Your client will not know how to configure QB correctly.
