Laptop for University - Bachelor of Information Technology

[OminousDDaark]

I am starting University soon in which I will be completing a Bachelor of Information Technology, I am after a laptop that will be good for this course (I am pretty unsure)

it will need to be portable and have lots of battery life - I will NOT be playing games on it other then a few online ones such as Angry Birds, Bloons TD when bored and it will just be used to run programs to take notes etc. I believe Microsoft Access, Excel, Word, Powerpoint is needed but unsure.

Was loving the sound of a Chromebook but I'm pretty sure it cannot get those programs and so thats out. Any recommendations is welcome and wanted.

Budget is a bit meh atm, cheaper is better.

hey buddy no problems and its fine that your not from the US because most laptop makers make the same laptops in other countries too they just have different model numbers thats why i recommend ones from US and also because i dont know of any australian websites that sell computers so. hope this helps good luck on your search
