Laptop recommendations for uni student

charlie8926 · Monday at 14:53

Hi so I'm going to uni in September and know nothing about laptops.
It doesn't need to be very gaming capable as I have a pc for that. But I assume it'll need a decent amount of ram for having a good few tabs open when studying.
It will mostly be used to take notes and such. I've heard that macbooks and chromebooks aren't ideal.
I'm looking for good battery life and alright processing speed.
Budget is around £600/700.
All help is appreciated.

Did think about an iPad but I think it would be a good bit easier to transfer files to my pc and sending off coursework. My girlfriend has had some problems with sending off coursework

Either intel/AMD, 16gb ram and a decent sized drive should drop into that price bracket tbh.

My goto brand would be Lenovo

HP Probook 460/465 16" G11 range are just falling into that price bracket, Ive bought hundreds of them over the years and can count on one hand how many warranty calls Ive placed for them. We usually get 4 solid years from them then replace as per my policy.

Dell Inspiron range is good.
