I'll be starting UNI this Sept and I don't really know what laptop to get. BTW the highest I can go in terms of a laptop would be around £800 - £900 but obvs it would be better to find something cheaper but of still great quality.
Anything that runs Microsoft office, a laptop half of that price will do. Do not succumb to pressure from youngsters who have zero idea about technology and tell you to buy an Apple product.
When choosing a university laptop, prioritize budget, portability, and performance. Consider MacBook Air for reliability or Dell, Asus or ThinkPad for performance. Match your choice to your major and preferences.

Anyone spending more than £150 on a Windows (or Linux) laptop for personal use or supporting their studies is being ripped-off. Because fully working Dell premium business laptops (models 7390, 7300. 7490, 7400) are sooooooo good and so affordable from ebay.
The "warranty" is in the price. If you're extremely unlucky and the laptop goes kaput in the next year or three, you simply buy another used premium business laptop for under £150.
Feel free to let me know about any particular laptop deals you're looking at and I'll tell you if it's worth pulling the trigger on or not.
