Looking for a budget laptop for school - Emblem - 02-02-2017
As the title says, I'm looking for a laptop and i hope you guys got some tips. I'm currently using my dad's old laptop but its too heavy, slow, old, gets too hot quicky and the battery life is under 2 hours.
- I'd rather not spend more than 350 euros.
- I prefer windows but idc which version.
- I'll mainly use it for word, excel and browsing the internet.
- The laptop is not meant for gaming but i wouldn't mind if it could run something like the original Bioshock (which is a game from 2007).
- I'd prefer it if the fan isn't on the left side or if it doesn't get hot quickly since im left handed (fuck the old laptop).
I hope you guys can help me since i know close to nothing about laptops.

I'd recommend looking at discounted products.
Dunno what size you want but I checked 15.6" only.
https://www.alternate.nl/Hewlett-Packard/250-G4-(P5T71EA)-15-6-notebook/html/product/1256740?lk=14606
+ Discounted
+ 4-core Pentium
+- Lot of storage but it's slow (1TB HDD)
- Only HD Screen (1366 x 768)
http://www.mediamarkt.nl/nl/product/_hp-15-ay082nd-1467003.html
+ FullHD screen (1920 x 1080)
+ Bigger battery
+- Small storage but it's fast (128GB SSD)
- 2-core Celeron
But check local shops etc for offers is what I'd do. Maybe you can find something with 1) FullHD screen 2) Not 2-core Celeron
And if you don't need a lot of storage, go for an SSD. And keep in mind that Windows will eat ~20GB of that storage on it's own. (depending on your hibernation settings etc)
