Laptop recommendation for a cs student under $600 or in India 50,000 INR - eviltoast

Well i started my B tech course this year, I am looking for a laptop for my use case. I am using linux as a main os for 3 years.

The laptop which i currently use is a Dell Inspiron N5110. Its a pretty old machine so i am currently looking for an upgrade.

Things which I do :

  1. Read documents
  2. Watch videos and listen to music
  3. Light coding
  4. Tinker with almost everything
  5. Try new software if i can.

I REALLY need a a laptop with good cooling and battery life like 5 hours is fine.

    I managed to score a Thinkpad E14 Gen 1 for a couple hundred (the successor to the T4XX series). I’m not sure what the market is like in your country, but I bookmarked a few auction sites and checked them daily for a few weeks before I snagged mine. Definitely I viable strategy in some areas.
