Hey all, I am beginning school soon for Instrumentation & Industrial Automation Technology. I am looking for a durable laptop with good multitasking and responsiveness. I'm leaning towards ASUS or Lenovo, but still open to suggestions. I want an intel processor with at least 4 GB RAM and HDMI output. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

The Lenovo ThinkPad T series is probably the most durable laptop you can buy short of spending money on specially ruggerized laptops for harsh environments like Panasonic ToughBooks.

Thinkpad Edge 😀

Nah, just kidding. I think you can get L series under $1000. Otherwise you can buy 2nd hand items.
