HELP! A fast, affordable, non-Chrome laptop?

[thtsdb1111]

Hey folks!

I'm in the market for a windows laptop that is under $400 and is fast and efficient.

I currently have an Acer Chromebook that is, and has always been, very glitchy, and I really dislike the Chromebook set up.

I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad recently, but had to return it in a matter of days - videos kept freezing, and when I'd go to type online, the lag was so bad that I'd have to go back and fill in words that got left out because it couldn't keep up.

I like small laptops for travel, but would settle for a larger one if it worked well.

I don't use computers for gaming or anything, and wouldn't be saving much to the hard drive - I just want something that I can use for browsing, streaming videos, and writing.

Please, give me your input!

Thanks!

If you have slow Internet service, all laptops will perform equally "well" online.
