My current laptop whistles from the last hole. It probably only takes days until he completely gives up the ghost
At 400-500, - € you must always be able to compromise. That really fits everything is not really in this price range. It is important to be clear what you want to use the notebook for.
Basic requirements I put on a notebook are the min. 6GB RAM and mind. A Hybrid HDD or SSD owns.
If you want to use the notebook predominantly on the way for office tasks or as a student notebook, then it should be small, light and have a long battery life. (Here you can often switch to Used Business Notebooks from the Refurbisher as Gebrauchtcomputer24.de For use at home then you get an external mouse and keyboard and external screen.)
Maybe this one:

If you want to use the notebook mainly as a gaming machine, the notebook should if possible have a dedicated graphics unit with separate graphics memory. Here you will have to weigh how good the screen, the graphics unit and the battery life must be. Most of the time, only one of the three things in the price range is good. What is really suitable for gaming but you will get to 500, - € new hardly a notebook in the multimedia area with which you limited games in HD ready resolution at max. Medium settings can play.

First of all, I make sure that I have a display that offers Full HD (1920x1080) and that it is non-glare (not reflective / reflective).
Thereafter, the laptop should at least 4 gb ram offer (at best gddr4 because it is the latest RAM and is only supported by newer processors) and this should also be the absolute minimum, especially if you use Windows and Chrome, as the memory is like times fast full.
Then what is installed for a processor. On it one should pay attention that one takes either an AMD processor (ryzen) or with Intel one from the 6/7/8 generation (i3 / i5 / i7 7xxx) and in the end follows again a letter for on the way and high battery life a "u" when gaming a hq or h.
Then what a hard drive you can get. Here I would pay attention to the fact that a SSD is installed. If necessary, you can add a larger hard drive.

However, you have to acquire a Windows license for this laptop because Linux is installed on it.
Would then cost ~ 15 euro (eg Scdkey)
