800$ max budget
non touch screen
non apple
1080p screen

will not be used for much if any gaming

What screen size? 11,13,14,15,17?
Any needs for bulk storage >120GB?
Any CPU needs beyond an i3/i5 dual-core?

Is a refurb with full warranty like Dell off-lease OK?

Lenovo IdeaPad Z510 @ $357
Swap out the spinning platter for a M500 240GB SSD @120

Less than $500 and you've got a snappy little machine.
