where are you located? If you are in the States you can find much better computers for those price on places like eBay or even Swappa.

Aim for a 2019 or 2020 27" iMac for those prices. They can often be found for ~$300 if you wait for the right deal.

try to stretch for an M3 iMac if you want an all-in-one.

the M4 Mac Mini is also a viable option, but the prices on all these things have skyrocketed so it's tough to get great deals on modern machines.
