So I'm a university student from Denmark. I wanna buy a laptop in the range of $500 USD. I want it to more an all round machine that I can use for random stuff, projects, browsing, hd movies and anime watching, casual gaming (assfaggots) on medium to low settings. Now I don't know what to get specifically. Ordering from a physical shop is what I want to do because I can go get my money back or get it fixed easily if something happens. So far I've been looking for the following specs
>i5 6200U processor or some other 6th gen one
>8 GB ram
>128 GB or more SSD
>Some AMD/Nvidea graphic card (NOT Intel HD which is garbage)
>around 15 inch display
Every computer I've seen is too expensive here, and I've found Lenovo ideapad 300 on the a web store but it's been getting bad reviews lately though the average is 8.5. I don't know if I can trust that store.
So any help would he appreciated. Do you guys think I'm delusional about the specs and price?
Should I settle for HDD or intel HD? Should I forget about all gaming on a laptop?
I don't have a CPU right now and that's why I want reasonable to low specs. I wanna keep the price low because if I go all the way up to 900 dollars there's no justification about not buying a macbook which is way more durable.
I also intend to install Linux on it. I've used mint alot in the past.

Thinkpad T420 can do all of that well. And you'll have $300 dollars left over. I run meme of legends at 120 fps on medium settings.

This is the closest you'll get. Though, you'll need to swap in an SSD.

You're not getting this for under 500, save up or deal with intel graphics

You think I can just swap in an SSD? I didn't know you could switch stuff in laptops.

Good luck with that search your taxes are higher than ours, especially buying new. have you considered picking up something refurbished off ebay? Itll do in a pinch till youve more money, i picked up a probook 4230s for 150 yoyos recently with a year warranty older machine but a good workhorse while building up shekels
