[Help] Looking for a netbook/small laptop

Hi everyone in the community!

 

First, I want to apologize for any spelling/grammar mistake, since English is not my main language. That being said. It's been ages since my last post (?), partially because exams and stuff, so it's good to be back!

 

I'm currently attending what you guys on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean call "a degree" on computer science,to be an engineer, to be more specific. Why do I tell you this?

Well, my old, crappy laptop broke a few days ago, and I currently have a "powerful enough" desktop PC for my daily needs (mostly gaming, viewing Netflix and light video/image editing), and of course programming and testing algorithms. What I am looking for, is not a BEASTLY POWERFUL 4K GAMING LAPTOP WITH BACKLIGHT KEYBOARD. No, seriously, I'm not. I am looking for a swift, small, 10"-15" netbook/laptop, capable of running my beloved Fedora WS 23 (I know, there may be better Linux distributions out there, but I like KDE-Fedora, ok?)... and anything else, since is going to be used to take class notes, web browsing and probably programming.

 

And that's why I am here, I want you guys to help me find that piece of hardware that I need. I am not on a "small budget", strictly speaking, but the best price-per-performance ratio, the better.

 

And I think that's it, if you need more info on my "problem", just ask.

 

Keep rockin!

refurbished lenovo thinkpad

fast, small, and theyre refurb units from massive companies, so they have been kept in good condition and restored to perfect before being sold

you can find some with i5 processors and ssds for about 200 bucks

The only thing that comes to my mind is the Dell XPS 13. I wish I have one of those.
