Hey, I'm a first year computer science student and am looking for a laptop - say for around $500. Size can be no bigger than 14", i want it to be lightweight and portable, and preferably long lasting; at least a couple years. Average battery life would suffice.

Maybe you guys have better suggestions but i was looking at the Latitude E5450, and another one on Best buy website.

I saw an ad on kijiji - Latitude E5450 1 year old for $300. Link: http://bit.ly/2chz2yC
Bestbuy has another model refurbished ; Link: http://bit.ly/2cfXpPh

What do you think, are these worth the money?

Thanks in Advance

What are you planning to use it for? You say you are a computer science student so it would be nice to know if you will be doing any programming or modeling or something, or gaming (and what kinds of games).
