r/Costco on Reddit: Thoughts on a computer for school use?
November 14, 2025 -
My teen needs a computer for school work and will likely keep it through college. It doesn't need blazing capabilities, but should be able to handle lots of tabs open, visual design with Canva, coding on Java Script and Python, and some Minecraft for fun. We would love to be able to get away from Windows 11, but that seems hard to do. A ChromeBook will not run the school's propietary programs, and we are committed to PC.
Any tips? Do any of these have glaring issues that should keep us away? Is Acer an acceptable brand? Is there a better time of year to shop for the best deals? (She has a clunky school device now and can keep using it while we wait for a better sale.)

Are you strictly set on just buying from Costco? It’s okay-ish price for a new device but with Black Friday/Cyber Monday around the corner, you may be able to snag one with a discrete GPU like a 4050 laptop for 100-200 more. Refurbished ones on eBay can net you nice ones too. Spec-wise, it may be able to do stuff, but not as good as a laptop with a discrete GPU.

I have never done it. However, they have been downsizing the photo areas and the one nearest me closed. Also, with COVID, they may not be doing recyclable products right now. Some have stopped, so you might call prior to going.

Good rule of thumb is that as soon as you buy it at regular price, the very next month the same item will be on sale! More on reddit.com

Hello! Does anyone have experience getting their empty ink cartridges refilled at the photo center? Was thinking about refilling an empty HP 63 XL and was wondering roughly what the cost would be. Thank you!
