So I'm going to be a college student in a year and I need a new laptop. My problem is, I haven't used Windows laptops in a while. I've been using Macs, so I'm used to the long battery life and reliability of the laptops. Now I'm looking to port back to Windows, but don't know which laptop to buy. I'm looking for something portable and has long battery life. I also need it to be reliable. My budget is around 1000-1500 Canadian dollars. I've been looking at the ASUS Zenbook and Thinkpads lately.
