Chromebooks Blowout for $49.99-$59.99.  Refurbished Dell, HP and Acer models are perfect for someone just starting out – you don’t really want kids playing on your iPad, do you?  Might not be the fastest, but they’ll get the job done.  All come with the Woot 90-day limited warranty, so if it doesn’t work out in the first couple of months, back it goes.
