I am hoping to get suggestions of laptop models under 100-150 USD. Wont be used for gaming since already got desktop.

Will just use for office works and surfing the internet.

So I am looking to a model that is focused on processing power with decent ram. Thanks for the suggestions! :)

DECENT processing power? Well, compared to a desktop, you won't get much for 150 USD. I'd expect to spend at least 250.

i7 4790k | MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition | G.Skill Ripjaws X 16 GB | Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB | 2x Seagate Barracuda 2TB | MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr V | Fractal Design R4 | EVGA 650W

A gaming PC for your budget: $800 - $1000 - $1500 - $1800 - $2600 - $9001

Do you mind Chromebooks?

I dont mind if they'll do the job. :) What's their major  difference with typical laptops?

I just need a laptop for the budget.. What I meant above are those models that spent the 150USD to the processing power rather than aesthetics or GPU. Because there are other laptops that are just expensive yet their processing power are weak because it focused on the other parts. :)

They don't run Windows; instead, the run a light operating system based on Chrome (the web browser). 

They're very portable, but can't do much outside of web browsing (you do have access to Google's drive applications through chrome)

 

Here's a non-chromebook laptop for a decent price

Personally, I'd get a 500gb SSD for it too, but that'll push it out of your price range
