I am looking for a laptop to take to university, obviously will need general uses like word, power point, Netflix and other video streaming. I would like it to be lightweight, decent battery life, fast and a good 500gb.
I would ask for the ability to play games but I know that's insane to want on such a budget, I am contemplating on whether something like a note book or surface would be good for taking notes and general research usage, but I haven't really seen many unbiased reviews on them and their uses but the idea is very tempting. I'm just not really sure what direction to go with it, I currently have a Lenovo z50 and its pure shite and that was about 550 new and I thought it would be good but it was not, hence my reservation to simply buy one from my own lack of knowledge. I would like to pay up to like 450-500 but I can stretch to 600 I reckon (begrudgingly)

reckon it would run any games? also do you know the reliability of refurbished pc's by chance? Also I don't know why but it does make me slightly uneasy that it is refurbished but not necessarily a deal breaker if you could defend refurbishing with some certainty
