if possible say the best one (unlimited price range)
and also a good one but cheaper, like less than $1,200
thanks
Unlimited price, honestly think you can't go wrong with one of the new Macbook Pros. They are
vastly overpriced but incredibly quick, incredibly sturdy machines. Like, knock Apple as much as you like for their huge markups, but the MBP's are light so perfect for commutes, the macOS ecosystem is phenomenal and wayyy more reliable imo, and hey, best of both worlds - You can run Windows in a bootable partition or as a Virtual Machine if you need to. Doubt I'd ever go away from a Mac - Though keep in mind I'm typing this on a Macbook Pro while replying to a message on my iPhone that I first read on my Apple Watch. Self professed fanboy with bias
My first year of uni I was on a budget, I picked up a used MacBook Air! Definitely way better bang for your buck than the new pros
For a PC on the budget end, I've probably heard the best things about Lenovo. If you are after something kind of different, very cheap, and don't need a whole lot of grunt (aka, you'll be using OneNote or Chrome all day) you
might want to take a look at the still fairly new Lenovo Yoga Books. It's a laptop/tablet hybrid without any form of physical keyboard, rather a backlit surface that emulates a keyboard. Played with a friend of mines for a bit and it was nifty! I think typing on it would probably get annoying compared to an actual keyboard though
Laptop choice really depends on what you do with it, how you prioritise portability versus battery life for example. Whether you need lots of onboard storage or whether you'll have all your files in the cloud anyway. Mostly Word Docs, or running CAD programs? Etc, etc
