Malawi, Africa
...and there is the problem. I tried to ship a computer to a friend in Argentina, and because of size, content and battery it was insanely expensive. It's prolly better to do a fundraiser and buy the laptop there I suspect.
$175 can actually get a fairly/slightly used laptop here in Malawi that’s good enough for the job. Buying locally avoids shipping, customs, and battery issues entirely. Thank you for your help — it really means a lot.

Yeah, that’s exactly the struggle in the Global South. Shipping alone can cost more than the device itself once you factor in size, batteries, customs, and random fees. It ends up punishing people simply for where they live. Fundraising and buying locally is often the best alternatively realistic option.
Where would the laptop be used (location generally)? Trying to get an idea of cost and shipping etc.
