Once you start making money it’s cheaper to fly to another Latin American country, and/or Miami if possible and buy there. You can generally travel with a laptop and phone, just need to unpack them first.
If not doable make friends with gringos online or at a youth hostel and try to buy before they leave, or bring next time. I brought a new MBP to a friend once. Need to convert to dollars though and exchange rate is high.
To answer the question, recently a friend was giving away a ten-year-old imac. I put in 8gb ram for ~$40 and installed Ubuntu mate and now it works great.
