Acer Swift 3 for 550€/500$ on Amazon
I was looking for a really well built budget notebook, with good keyboard, good screen and good battery life, low noise emission, while willing to sacrifice performance. The Swift 3 fits the bill beautifully.
I got an i3, 4GB ram, 128GB ssd with 14 inch screen (basically the SF314-51-30W6). There are different configurations available, if you are looking for more cpu, gpu, ram, screen estate. I am not sure how they affect any of the points above though
