Hi I'm entering college soon and I am trying to find a laptop suitable for my needs. Any suggestions are welcome.
What I want:
-nothing over 600$
-I'll be writing a lot of essays, so a good keyboard
- browsing the web and online tests so a good battery life 9+ hours
- something with good speakers and screen quality
- will last me 4 years
- not cumbersome to carry around, nothing heavy
