Perhaps a HP Pavillion DV6? There are quite a few floating around but they are fairly cheap being from around 2009/2010. And I've actually found them to be superior to ultrabooks/laptops of the same size price in every way except battery life (which is to be expected). And AMD vs Intel doesn't matter as they are from around the same time that AMD actually knew how to make a decent CPU that competed with the ones Intel was producing.
