How is Lenovo's IdeaPad? (https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-IdeaPad-15-6-Inch-Windows-80XL003HUS/dp/B06W5RPQ5Z/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1499921790&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=laptop&refinements=p_36%3A2421886011&psc=1) I want a budget laptop that I can install linux on and use for school. Haven't shopped for laptops in 5 or 6 years so I have no idea what typical specs are these days

budget laptops are all shit. Just buy some used business laptop. We just got some latitude e 5430 and e6240 on work and I have to say, they aren't half bad. Trackpad and keyboard also feels much nicer than anything you could buy new for ~300€
Try to get the versions with the extended batteries if needed.

the hp 640 and 840 g1 are better options if you don't mind gettin them used

Never been a huge HP fan, but I suppose I could give them a look

My Lenovo 310 works fine.

Ideapads are shit, I sell them all the time at work. Flimsy plastic, terrible keyboard with a lot of flex.
HP pavilions are also shit. The whole series is known for overheating so badly that the videochip will stop working + build quality so shit it will break through normal use.
Do what the other guy said and buy a used business laptop, it's cheaper and you'll get your money's worth out of it.
