Hi, I'm currently studying to become a techer and I need a new laptop soon as my old one is giving out. I only need to be able to do basic googling and work in Word, as well as videostreaming from YouTube and such. Light gaming is just a bonus. 240GB of storage is a must, and I don't want to pay more than necessary. My current laptop has a 768p screen, so nothing more then that is really needed. I would also like to stay away from chromebooks if that is possible. What are some good options that suit my needs? All answers are appreciated!

 

PS: I live in Norway so some deals might not be available to me. Things like Amazon-spesific deals won't work, as most things no Amazon either don't ship to Norway at all, or has hute shipping costs attached.

Used Thinkpad. I can't easily suggest a model since I don't know your budget or what the used market is like where you are.

Something used would be a good deal. What you want out of the laptop, almost every laptop could do that. An older used macbook or like @kelvinhall05 said, a thinkpad. 

Whatever you find, try to make sure it at least has an Intel i5 or similar so it'll last longer (So no atoms, celerons, pentiums, even c2d).

Highly recommend OP stays away from Macbooks unless they absolutely need MacOS and don't want to hackintosh.
