privsecfoss@feddit.dktoNo Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I've had the same laptop for seven years. Don't know much about them besides buy a Toshiba. Is this Hp Essential Laptop a good deal?

As others here I will recommend also looking at other brands. I think that you get the best deal by buying used business laptops. They are cheap, good quality, built to last and often repairable.
Brand-wise I think Dell is OK, while Lenovo Thinkpads series T, X, W and carbon are even better choices, IMO.
EDIT: Spelling.
Found the Thinkpad collector who is afraid of competition. Just kidding… 🙂
I haven’t had much experience with the newer models, so what you say may be true.
