Laptop for International Business in Uni

Hi, I’m starting my course of International Business in Uni this September.
I’m currently choosing a laptop for studying and I’m struggling to choose between HP Envy x360 14fc0011na and MacBook Air (M2).
I don’t know what would be a better choice as Hp is flexible and has. a touchscreen so it can be used for digital notes and would be useful if I’m watching something but Mac would be faster and it can be synchronised with my IPhone. Another thing is that Hp has twice as much of storage than Mac. But Mac is a respected brand so idk.
I’m also not sure if the flexibility of Hp would make it last less than Mac.
I don’t really know what to expect from my course(what systems I would use etc) so I’m not sure which laptop would be better for my degree.
Is there someone who did similar degree or just can give me an advice in choosing a laptop for uni?

Hey @kira santalova

I think important aspects to consider would also be cost, prices to get them fixed (if something was to go wrong), processor power.

Ultimately, you'd rather not spend so much on a device but it does not last the duration of your degree. So choose the more practical and reasonable option ie- the laptop that does the job you require and will be reliable throughout the degree, with less issues.
