So, where do I start, I wanted to get a laptop soon. But since I have never owned such a device, let alone general knowledge in relation to it, my question basically is what to look for when buying a current laptop. Surely there's a lot of tricks trickily installed, I would like to get a device in the price / performance is right. I want to do so mostly Minecraft on the go, write emails, YouTube and Netflix of course synonymous, but at the same time good processor performance and a reasonable battery life. My budget is up to 500 euro, or a little over it is not bad but pain threshold would be nice so 550 euro. Hopefully the computer professionals among you can help me with my problem, would be really a huge help, thank you in advance in advance.
I'm not a computer expert but I recently bought an acer Swift one and paid 250 euro, new! I'm super happy and can recommend him clearly. Has Windows 10.
The here is not bad but synonymous only 250gb memory

As far as the value for money is concerned, you should keep your fingers off devices from Saturn and Media Markt. The devices are pretty much always overpriced. It is very damn rare that I discover a device there with a good price-performance ratio.
Writing e-mails and surfing the web can be done with just about any device. When playing is of course a little more power necessary. Especially Minecraft is quite CPU-heavy. I would therefore opt for a multimedia device with a processor from Intel Core i5 or something equivalent of AMD. Then 8 GB of RAM and at best an SSD, as this provides in comparison to a HDD again for a speed boost.
To gamble is also a dedicated graphics card recommended, but if you do not want to play Minecraft with any high-resolution mods, it also does an integrated graphics chip. Price would be for 500 euro anyway no device with a responsive dedicated graphics card. The integrated graphics unit from AMD (Vega 8) is also not bad compared to the integrated graphics chips from Intel.
Here is a device from HP for 480 euro: https://www.computeruniverse.net/de/hp-15-db1401ng-6lf07e-r5-3500u-8gb256gb-ssd-15fhd-w10
It is a 15.6-inch device with a matte Full HD display. Installed here are an AMD Ryzen 3500U, 8 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD. The battery life amounts to according to data on up to 10 hours. In addition, Windows 10 Home is already preinstalled here.
For 50 euro less, I had yet discovered this device: https://www.cyberport.de/?DEEP=1C24-66P
However, this device has an anti-reflective display. If you travel a lot, I would rather put on a matte display. In this regard, it is best to take a look at the following article: https://www.techfacts.de/ratgeber/mattes-oder-glaenzendes-display In the cheaper device would also be no Windows 10, but an operating system could be synonymous for about 10 - 15 euro grow.
For 500 euro you would still have a device with a twice as large SSD: https://www.notebooksbilliger.de/...81nc005bge
Would be synonymous again with an anti-reflective display. Do you have to decide what is more suitable for you? If you do not work all the time outdoors, it also does an anti-reflective display. A twice as large SSD would be worthwhile for the extra cost, if you are 256 GB are not enough. I myself would also get along with 256 GB. Here the battery life amounts to according to data up to 8 hours.
