bare bones

describing an item that has only the most basic and necessary features to it; strictly functional; utilitarian
I looked into getting an upgrade for my cell phone, told the sales rep I just wanted something bare bones (i.e. a unit strictly for making/receiving telephone calls).

turns out that's impossible these days, since even the most basic phones have cameras and mp3 players as standard features now!

Arguably the best character from fantastic beasts and where to find them.

barebone

A basic computer system, typically features the chassis (housing-case), motherboard, a stick of RAM, and a floppy disk drive.
If your budget is low, a barebone system is usually a good choice to buy, because it only costs half as much as a pre-built system if you buy the rest of the parts at a used computer store.
