Laptop purchase advice please!!
I know absolutely nothing about computer mechanics or code and am extremely technologically impaired. That being said! I am so sick and tired of all this "smart assistant" "smart home" "alexa" bs. My chomebook that I've had for six years now just died and I bought it bc of the price but I hated that thing and I hate Google and Chrome stuff with all the spying and data mining. I am the person who will not use any type of social media besides tumblr bc I hate algorithms that much. I want a laptop that does the absolute bare minimum of running the internet and maybe a CD drive but apparently that's a lot to ask for now 😮💨 I don't even know what to search to find a laptop like this bc all the results I keep getting are sponsored or "how to set up your smart assistant!" "How to set up voice control!" "How to connect your appliances!" Which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I want. I have no technical skill to build my own laptop and every time I even try to learn the very basics of computer workings it just goes completely over my head. I would rather my personal computer not just be one giant advertisement meant to spy on me but that's getting rather hard to find I've heard...
