Toshiba Chromebook 2. No lies or memes. 90% of your time you'll be taking notes, using Internet for accessing online school sites/books. And occasionally going on social media or YouTube on your down time. The CB I mentioned has
>13.3" 1080p screen
>16GB m.2 ssd storage that is replaceable if you really need to
>Decent keyboard
>4GB ddr3
>Intel Celeron dual core
>microSD slot
>minimum 10 hours battery life on its 3 cell.

Including a 128GB microSD card, I spent $330 for everything brand new. Unless you'll be needing specific programs native to Windows only, the only correct answer is a chromebook in that price range. Where else are you going to get all of what I mentioned above for $300 or less brand new?

/g/ will have you buy a thunkpad used. Questionable battery life. Mediocre screen at best. It's only saving grace is its keyboard. If you don't NEED Windows, CB is the way to go.

>I own both the Toshiba Chromebook 2 and a T420 with i7/16GB ddr3 running Linux. For basic use, the CB is leaps amd bounds better.
