What tasks will you be using the laptop for? How much are the upgrades and how much extra would you ideally want to spend?

Mainly writing essays etc - I'm doing a language degree so nothing too technical. I'm not sure the exact costs of the upgrades, but tbh it sounds like that's not a problem - my mum said she'd cover the difference for a mac upgrade and from quick looks that seems like it would be the most expensive aha

I would at least pay the extra to move to an i3 or i5 equipped laptop, just for smoother performance and a bit of extra longevity. If money isn't an issue, look through the various options and see if there are any with features that appeal to you, for example if you have a preferred screen size or want a higher definition 1080p (or better) display, a convertible laptop like the Lenovo Flex line, ultra fast Flash/SSD storage for instant boot ups, super slim bodies like the MacBook Air or other ultrabooks, and so on.
