I'm not loyal to any brand or dislike any brands. A good laptop is a good product and buys it anyways.
I'm looking at Lenovo IdeaPad 5 (15), Acer Aspire 5, Acer Swift 3, HP Envy 13, Huawei Matebook D15, Asus ROG, Asus Vivobook. (If there is an old model or different model that I said then it fine.)

14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.

A room for me to upgrade or swap components. (Like wifi card.)
Performance > Build quality > Battery life
I don't mind refurbs/used as long as the battery is an easy replacement.
Weight and thinness are not an issue.
Well reviewed laptop is awesome for me to make research on.
Intel i5 or Ryzen 5 (Good thermal)
8GB Ram in dual channel config (I don't mind add ram later by myself)
MX150 (or newer model) or whatever Vega graphics that good.
Good enough battery life for web browsers and anime.
Good enough display (If the laptop has a bad screen I wouldn't mind swapping it with a better one.)

Thank you so much in an advance, you guys are amazing.

With you being OK to buy used laptops you are only limited to what is available in your country. A good cheaper gaming laptop should have a 1050 Ti or a 1650 video card in it, start there and you will narrow your search to some models you can look closer at for other specs. For your budget used you can go up a level or maybe even two to a 1060 or 1070 level depending on the age and seller.
