Used ThinkPad T14 or so
post
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.
At this budget you'll have trouble finding anything decent. I'd look at the second hand market, if I were you.
I'm pretty happy with the asus vivobook I bought for half that. Very fast processor, 8gb, 256. My only criticism is it's a little flexible in that if you lift by one corner the track button will fire. Minor issue, otherwise it's been great for two years.
As everyone is saying "used thinkpad" - do your homework for the specific model. They are legendary, but that legend is not universal. Lenovo traded on their name and produced some pretty poor models for a long time. They are very often: Overpriced. Or crap quality. Or so old that they're not usable.
