You pretty much can't go wrong with anything from Dell, HP, or Lenovo as long as the hardware specs meet your needs. For Windows 11, 16 GB of RAM is ideal. For Linux, 8GB is plenty for almost any distribution.

Since you are not going to game, and you prioritize build quality, I would recommend this Acer Aspire 5 because

It comes with an i7-1355U CPU.
It offers great value for money since it comes with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD.
Slim, sleek.
The lid of the device has a matte finish on its aluminum material. On the other side, the plastic material on the rest of the chassis is retained.
Its lid cannot be opened with a single hand. On the bright side, it is sturdy and prone to flexes. Moreover, we see an upgrade in the hinge department that leaves them a lot stronger than before.
The narrow-bezel design offers more real estate for amazing images. Crisp, true-to-life colors come alive on a 15.6” Full HD IPS display with Acer Color Intelligence.
Battery life advertised Up to 9.5-hours Battery Life.

According to https://eu.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/acer/aspire-a515-44-r41b

Comes with a range of ports, including 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, USB 2.0 port and HDMI port.

And I have recommended this because

has a very good build quality .
Great value for money.
Has a very good CPU for coding environments, IDEs, and multitasking efficiently.
Long battery life.
Good keyboard .

And if you prefer a better CPU and can push your budget a little higher, then I would recommend Acer Swift** because it comes with :

Specs:

Screen: 14" .
CPU : Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor 155H
Ram : 16GB LPDDR4X
Storage : 512GB SSD
What I love about this acer is that it is the perfect middle ground between value for money, weight/battery and all metal build, so it matches your request of build quality.
Long battery life up to 10hours .
Powerful CPU for programming and school. *Great value for money.
Lightweight, so you can carry it comfortably.

Best Laptop for a College Freshman? Looking for Long-Term Reliability [Budget $800–$1,200, US]

Posted by Venom170889 · in r/SuggestALaptop · 1 month ago

Total budget (in local currency) and country of purchase. Please do not use USD unless purchasing in the US:
$800–$1,200, US

Are you open to refurbs/used?
Prefer new, but open to refurbished laptops if they’re a great value for students

How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?
Battery life and build quality are top priority for college use, followed by performance; ultrabook or slim laptop style preferred

How important is weight and thinness to you?
Very important — I’ll be carrying it between classes and around campus daily, so a lightweight laptop is a must

Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A.
13–15 inches for portability and comfort

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run.
Primarily note-taking, research, online classes, and streaming, plus light Adobe Photoshop and Premiere work

If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want?
Not a gaming laptop priority, but light indie or casual games at medium settings would be fine

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?
Reliable build, comfortable keyboard for long writing sessions, responsive touchpad; touchscreen optional

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.
I’m looking for the best laptop for a college freshman that can last through all four years without constant repairs. Strong battery life for all-day use, portability, and durability are essential. I’ve seen student laptop recommendations like the MacBook Air, Dell XPS, and Lenovo ThinkPad, but I’d love to hear from people who’ve used them in real college settings.

Since you prioritize battery life, and build quality, and you are going to need good CPU and GPU for video editing , and gaming, I would recommend Acer Swift X 4060 because of the following :

CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor 155H which is very powerful and you care about performance.
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
Ram: 16GB LPDDR5X

High-Quality Display*: This features a OLED 2880 x 1800 120Hz which is better resolution display, providing vibrant colors and sharp visuals.
Long battery life as it lasts for around 12hours *Very good GPU and CPU for Adobe Photoshop and Premiere.

well according to your requirement the only thing that comes close in MacBook. Looking at your budget get an m4 MacBook air the base config or you could go for m3 or m2 MacBook air with higher configs. As you are a student get it with a student discount. Dont go for windows laptop cause the only windows laptop which offer a decent battery life are laptops with intel lunar lake processors. But all the lunar lake laptops cost above 1000 dollars. Check whether MacBook air can run your required software applications and go for it.

P.S. My recommendation is purely based on battery life

I would recommend Acer Swift X because it packs impressive power inside an ultraportable case and is a great pick if you want a high-performance, highly portable laptop.

Acer Swift X specifications:

CPU: 8-core, 16-thread AMD Ryzen 7 5800U
Memory: 16GB
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti
Storage: 512GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD

Seeking advice on the best laptop for student

Posted by ConfidentDust2888 · in r/macbookair · 7 months ago

Hi everyone, I'm a student looking to upgrade to a new laptop with a budget of around $800-1000. My requirements aren’t too demanding (I do play games, but things like a high-quality display or loud speakers aren’t my priority).

Here’s what I need:

16GB RAM (or at least 8GB with upgrade options) for running multiple tabs and dual booting A dedicated GPU for basic ML/AI model training A screen that’s at least 15 inches and easy on the eyes for someone with nearsightedness Would love to hear your experiences and recommendations. Thanks
