Looking for a budget laptop for college

[Ko4o]

Hey guys I'm looking for a laptop for college, nothing too fancy. Going to law school so I'll leave my desktop behind at home and I'll need a laptop to suit basic needs like word, pdfs, watching videos, netflix etc. I hope the hardware won't start to lag in a couple of months that's all. I'm considering buying this http/www.anhoch.com/product/15456/notebook-hp-250-g4-i3-5005u-4gb500gbm330-2gbdvdrw156-hd-leddos. I couldn't find the laptop on the HP website, is this a good laptop? The price would be 330 Euroes. That's 20k in my currency. Is it the best for the price? If not any recommendation would be appreciated http/www.anhoch.com/category/3003/prenosni-kompjuteri-laptopi#page/4/ this is where I shop for tech, they offer the best customer support and their guarantees mean something I do not understand laptop hardware very well so any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Don't buy HP, Dell, or Toshiba. Those companies use cheap motherboards that die within 2 years. Search for "portablepicker" in Google and use that website to find your ideal laptop. It's basically like pcpartpicker.

Thank you very much, I've been searching for the past couple of hours and this is the best one I could find for the price that's available https/portablepicker.com/product/tYTrxr/lenovo-laptop-80e3007fus. Thoughts?

With all respect, but I would take this comment with a grain of salt. We have two Dell computers.
One, a desktop, is now 10y old. It runs all day long and I replaced the MB 2y ago and it's still working fine. The replacement MB did cost us 40 euros. As Dell has good manuals, it was easy to replace it.
The second is a 5y old Dell Vostro laptop. By accident we rode over it with our car. The MB got flexed and compressed due to the the pressure. But apart from the display the laptop is still working fine (including the DVD drive).
