With regards to brands, i'm gonna recommend Asus and Lenovo brands. I've had pretty good experience with both Asus and Lenovo brands and in addition, both deliver pretty good performance.
Dell boxes might be OK, but their support is horrible. Can't speak for the others.
My 6-7 year old Gateway notebook with a 17" screen has been a workhorse except for when the HDD failed, but the rest of it is still working fine with the new SSDs.
Why do you want such a small screen?
I don't see any special needs on your list, so you could look at off-lease business class models where you can get a better grade unit for less than half the price.
I paid about $100 for a Lenovo 412 and added a docking station.
I also got a second/duplicate Gateway used for $150 shipped.
