help for a latop seeking college student?

[A n g e l a.]

so ive been looking for a laptop for ages. the one that i own now is pretty crappy lol it crashes, i get it fixed it crashes again. complete hassle. so ive been looking at ones online and im a big fan of the Envy Sleekbook HP. mainly because its small light weight and decently priced. but after reading the reviews im kind of loosing faith. all i will be needing this laptop for is for school (writing reports, reading articles online), social media sites, & of course, Netflix. lol, i know typical but its more for business than pleasure. Any recommendations? and or help in steering me in the right direction?

thank you!

oh and btw: my budget consists of the 500-700 range.
