Good afternoon.
My friend needs a laptop for her daughter’s upcoming college, aiming for a budget under $1000 and wanting something durable for the entire school year. I can offer some suggestions and assistance. She might also benefit from discounts at Dell or HP.
A particular model isn't the best choice, I think. Feature recommendations would be more suitable.
Prioritize SSD storage of 500GB or more with built-in capacity (a USB external HDD is suggested for backups).
Include 16GB of RAM.
A docking station is needed to support a large monitor and a full-sized keyboard/monitor. Avoid investing in separate graphics cards.
The display size affects weight, so a larger screen means more weight. A lighter option might suit a daughter better.
A Microsoft Surface could work but comes with a high price tag.
