I'm looking to replace my (old, creaky) netbook (Acer Aspire One D255e,

painfully slow.
Something like a hi-res 14 (or 15) inch screen (full HD), minimum of 4 gigs
RAM, HD of a half terabyte or bigger.
I'd like to not have to go over 600-700 dollars, so I know my choices
are somewhat limited if I want to avoid the 400-500 dollar windows 10
junk^H^H^H^Hsystems from BJs, etc.
Something with a quad-core processor, and all hardware works with C7.
I've glanced at Lenovo Thinkpads on amazon where there are several
"factory refurbished" ones with similar specs to what I mention above
in the $500-700 range, but I don't know if they're any good or not
I'm open to suggestions from any/all of you!
thanks in advance!

I have been running Linux, mostly Redhat flavors, for a long time mostly
on Thinkpads but some other IBM/Lenovo laptops for a long time.
Never have had a problem. Currently running Fedora 26 on a X260, two
with Centos 7.4, X200 & X220, all used for software development.
