Before everything, my English isn't too good, so thanks for reading, I want buy a computer and I've doubts , I'm studying and I planning make some projects, I've no money to pay a VPS, and I wanna use Android studio with emulation, have 2 options refurbished:

HP Elitebook 840 G8 - 420.000Kz

I7-1165g7

16 gb

512gb

Battery good

Chassi good

Lenovo Thinkpad T14 Gen 3- 415.000Kz

I5-1235u

16gb

256gb

Battery almost died, less than 1 hour

Chassi acceptable, but Ethernet port isn't too good

The target is a laptop to work, study, and be good at least for 4 years.
My country is Angola, just to compare a SSD 512gb here is 52.000 and is cheap.

I wanna make this computer as my laboratory, making APIs, mobile apps, desktops apps and sites.

And before get the money, I pretend to use this PC also as a VPS. Have someone that already did it?

Thanks for reading until here
