I am looking for a new laptop for my sister. Her budget is 650€. What laptop is the best overall? Macbooks are excluded, as she doesn't like them. The OS is not important, I can install the OS myself. It shouldn't be a gaming laptop and it also should have a long battery life. No ARM or RISC-V laptops please. Build quality should be decent.

Thanks in advance.

edit: specific requirements

Display size: 13 to 15 inches
Display resolution: +1920x1080px
Aspect ratio: 16:9
Thickness: Slim
Screen color accuracy is not important
Screen should be anti glare
RAM: +8GB SODIMM DDR5
Storage: +512GB SSD
Touchscreen: preferred
Foldable screen: preferred
Upgradeability: RAM and the SSD should be upgradeable
Keyboard: QWERTZ, DE-AT
GPU performance does not matter, would be only useful for video hardware acceleration
CPU performance does matter

Like everyone says, used thinkpad. Around here, craigslist always has lots of them. Woot often has them too, but sometimes it's worth waiting around and checking the site til something good comes up.

Added: Hmm obviously the US sources listed here won't help so much for items priced in Euros, but you get the idea.
