I'm a beginner and I don't know where to start.

I'm 15 and the idea of 2Danimation always fascinated me but I have no idea how or where to start.I have been researching different laptops,tablets,and software but the more I look the more confused I get! I don't need anything expensive or professional because I want to try this as a hobby for now (I've been looking mainly at used items). But the biggest problem I have is that I don't know exactly what I need. I'm afraid of buying items that aren't compatible or that arent exactly what I need. I'm very confused and I've been frustrated for a while. How do I get started and what do I need ?

(Thanks)

If you want to do "2D

If you want to do "2D animation" ( that is traditional hand-drawn animation) then all you need is a pencil and some paper.
If all you want to do is try it as a hobby..........you don't need anything else.  A regular scanner--like found in a 4-in-one will suffice and there's plenty of free 2D animation software out there on-line.  Then just muck around with stuff and see what you turn out.
