depends if you go to a computer shop or a "box" store. top of the line laptop will cost you 1000$ a comparable apple will cost you 3000$. 500$ should be about the price range you are looking to spend for surfing the net and watching movies. 1000$ and you will be set for 2 years or so.

1000$ will get you more than you need. a lot more than you need. been a while since i checked the websites and different stores but you will be good in around that price, just don't buy apple.

You're definitely not in that average user category (surfing the net, movies, etc) or just love new tech.

I use a similar method but run the os from a dvd without a hard drive installed. Works well in a pinch if you're paranoid. ;)

i am more paranoid about what my google search will turn up lol or if i die before i can clear my search history.
 
Get an IBM ThinkPad - they have metal hinges. Limit screen size to not more than 14". Don't go for 'thin and lightweight' - 'Chunky' and 'durable' are better words for a laptop. For good portability, get a model that comes with a separate docking station.

Use https://startpage.com/ for those sensitive searches. Adjust the startpage settings to increase security.

With chrome use Autoclear or private mode. With firefox set Clear history (check everything) when firefox closes or private browser mode.
