The laptop below is the minimum specs I would expect to buy in 2020.
i5 8250u - 4 core (much improved upgrade from series 7 i5 and i7's)
256gb ssd
8gb ram [not sure if upgradeable]
FHD screen
Seems like a winning combo to me. For the price, I think it's worth taking the risk on the condition. There were a few for sale at time of posting.
Good luck.
Not bad for the price.
