I'm in the market for a Windows laptop that costs less than $400. It should have Microsoft Office installed, but I don't need it to be super fast. A good keyboard and trackpad are important to me, and I would love an SD card slot if possible. Any suggestions?

A used Lenovo ThinkPad is definitely a solid option. You can find great deals on second-hand models and they have a reputation for good build quality.
If you're looking for something even cheaper, check out the Dell Inspiron 3310. You can often find it on eBay for around $140, and it doesn't perform too badly for basic tasks. It has 8GB of RAM and a decent SSD.
Don't forget to check out stores like Best Buy, Staples, or Walmart. They frequently have budget laptops available. Also, looking at business-class laptops like Lenovo or HP that's been off-lease might be a better choice than a new consumer model.
Yeah, exactly! A refurbished business laptop will usually provide better performance and durability for the same price!
