The affordable but reasonably specced AMD Ryzen configuration of the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s is arguably one of the best bang-for-the-buck options in the sub US$500 price range and particularly shines with its 1600p panel with a 16:10 aspect ratio.

I have ordered these (13s G2 actually) in the past and had terrible issues with the trackpads not working correctly, or not working at all. It was quite aggravating, and there didn't seem to be a way to fix it, you just had to return the laptop.
