* Total budget (In local currency) and country of purchase:
NIL. Reason: I want something as cheap as possible

* Are you open to refurbs/used?
Yes

* How would you prioritize form factor, build quality, performance, and battery life?
Light, portable.
Battery life comfortably 8hrs and more.
No gaming, but might need to run 1 Linux vm (might use WSL if not possible)
Use case: CS student, so just write and compile code fast enough. Data science is a possibility, tho Google colab is always there.

* Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
NA, but 14 inch preferred since has to be portable. Don't mind 15 inches.

* Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
Eclipse, codeblocks, the IDEs. Web browsing, occasional youtube videos

* If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
No gaming. Turning over a new leaf

* Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
Good keyboard. Backlit keyboards is a plus, but not necessary

* Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
Please recommend me something as cheap as possible but still humanly usable. No budget, so feel free to shoot
