Does this exist?

Looking to make the switch to a PC and lightweight portable laptop for school from my current MBP. What it comes down to is:

 

Around $300-400 US  

8 GB Ram

Decent display

13” max

 

Does this machine exist? It won’t have to run much, word processing and some streaming. Battery life doesn’t particularly matter to me but it’s definitely nice not being chained to an outlet.  I don’t really want to go Chromebook but if that’s what I’m describing…

$300??

you can buy a used chromebook for $100 and an old dell / hp for $150.

Right but then there’s battery life and I wouldn’t like to carry a brick around in my backpack. I would still like some computing power on the go.
