Suggestions for laptop

[HeaterUp]

So this will probably be a bit different of a post then what I've been seeing the most here, but currently I'm working off a 10 year old laptop(10 YO processor LUL) with 3 gb of RAM and as you can probably guess, isn't really light.

Anyways, I'm looking for a laptop from $300-$650 that I can take and put linux on and be able to browse the web and program on for 6+ hours. 4+ GB of RAM should work, I'll also be using this for school so I could really use it being lightweight. Last big point is id really like something with a 128 GB SSD but it's not a deal breaker if it has a HDD either, just a preference. Anyways any suggestions are welcome, I've been looking at a couple Lenovos but the specifications I'm looking for seem to be hitting $800+ so maybe I'm not looking at the right place or just not looking at the right kind. Anyways thanks(ask questions if you need I'll be active)

 

TLDR;

Need a new laptop 4+ GB of RAM, 6+ hours of general use battery life, lightweight, and 128 GB SSD or 500GB-1 TB HDD for school and programming.

if you want slight more performance and a real SSD/HDD combo not an SSHD this one looks much better

bought about 20 of these over the last few years for work and generally had very good luck with them.

Asus FX and MSI GL series are very mediocre.
