[BlindTlk] Looking for low cost computer/laptop

[Jude DaShiell]

The raspberry pi might be a possibility.  A while back, walmart had
complete kits for something like $64.00 though if I were going to go
that route, I'd see if I could find a local raspberry pi users group for
support.  Many of these already come with windows 10 and office 365
installed and subscriptions.  If I get one of those, I'd wipe it and
install linux.

I think they do have the ability to do a low monthly payments so you?re not doing it at one time. I?ve never used them but they get great reviews here in Wisconsin from the Blind community. My husband was just talking about contacting them when his computer bites the dust to get a new one.
