Looking for solid college laptop

[brandonthompson8x]

Hello I need a simple laptop for school usage only. I need it to run Microsoft office smooth and to download SPSS statistics software. Are these stats for a Lenovo 320 Ideapad any good?

Display: 1366x 768
Processor: 3.0GHz AMD A9 dual core (A9-9420)
Memory: 4GB DDR4
Storage: 1TB hard drive
Operating: Windows 10

I went back to uni last semester, was in the same position, also using SPSS (again). Haha, fun times :`(

That laptop will certainly get the job done, but depending on what you like, the screen is very low resolution. Most 4" phones had better resolution 5 years ago.

Something like this with a 1080 screen and an SSD will be far better.

I went with a 12" macbook, as I don't use it that much.
Decent screen, albeit small, 10 hour battery life and ~900 grams
