First laptop

Hello all, so I never had a laptop before because I didn't needed it and now I want to buy it because I will need it for future studies , also it will be great for me when I won't be at home.I have a dekstop pc which is enought for games that I play, so I don't need laptop for gaming but anyway I think that any budget laptop can handle some really old games.So now I'm confused and I don't know which size laptop to choose 14"(also 13.3) or 15.6" , mainly I want more mobile laptop which is not heavy and looks quite thin , talking about 15.6" they come with little bit better specs for the same price as 14" or 13.3"  so I still don't know which to choose but I prefer 14" and less.So my budget is 300€ , and only from these websites http://www.1a.lt/kompiuterine_technika_biuro_prekes/nesiojami_kompiuteriai_ir_priedai/nesiojami_kompiuteriai https://www.varle.lt/nesiojami-kompiuteriai/nesiojami-kompiuteriai/ and http://www.skytech.lt/nesiojami-kompiuteriai-nesiojami-kompiuteriai-c-86_165_81.html?sand=2&pav=2&sort=5a&grp=1&page=1&pagesize=100 The sites are not in english language but I think it won't make any trouble :D  , so can you help me with choosing the best 14" ( or less ) laptop and also 15.6" and then I will consider myself which to buy :) .

P.S sorry for my bad english :D

Avoid Acer and HP at that price point.

Definitely avoid 15.6" if you want portability.  Try to get at least 1080p for the screen.

My budget is only 300€ , and I haven't seen any laptop in my country stores with 1080p for 300€

Specs are good, but it's refurbished and warranty only for 3months also it weights same as many 15.6" , anyway I prefer new laptops.

ThinkPads usually last for over 10 years. A used ThinkPad is the best you can afford

LOL it's a thinkpad if you just take okay care of it, it will last you a life time. If you dont take care of it in anyway well 5+ years
