Hello,

i'm looking for laptop to school and for programming.

Laptop must be cheapest as possible (i don't have too much money, i'm student), lightest as possible, and battery life must be highest as possible. I'm not gonna play games on it (maybe just light games like minesweeper, Metin2, league of legends, cs 1.6).

Budget is around $100 - $150 (maybe i can increase budget in case of something interesting).

It can be second-hand.

Thank you, and sorry for my english.

You are basically limited to something like a used HP Stream 11. It is a very basic laptop with only 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, but it does run Windows 8.1. You will need to eventually install a SD card for more storage capacity. You cannot add more RAM.

I would recommend craigslist, if you are in the US and near a metropolitan area, or ebay. You will not be able to buy new in this pricerange. Be careful and verify that it works. Otherwise if you are only using web based applications you could look at a chrome book.
