    ok I am not sure for this field. The reason I asked, is because I was wondering if she would benefit more of having a laptop with a digitize pen, like a Surface line system. (new models comes out in Oct, usually. Starting a semester without  laptop can help better determine her needs as well). That said, a Surface Pro will probably be over her budget by a bit (depending on the model and needs), a Surface Go might be better fit (rumors suggest that the next model may scrap the Intel Pentium Gold, for a potentially more powerful CPU: Snapdragon 8cx series. So ARM based, which technically should deliver serious "i5-level" performance with native ARM apps (Firefox, Chrome, and Chromium Edge are all in the works for ARM based version, Office is already there, if I am not mistaken, full VLC is there already), but will get a some notable performance drop for x86 32-bit programs due to emulation... however, if you focus on just more simple apps or small projects project it should be fine.. gaming... no). Of course we have to wait for it to be released, let alone have the rumor be true and see benchmarks and actual real world situation. If there is a Surface Go 2, probably will be released before school starts as this is the main market for this device.

    If you're looking for a durable and reliable machine, look at a business laptop. Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell Latitude, HP EliteBook.
     
    Personally, I'd say the ThinkPad E480 or E490 would be a good fit - it's an entry-level 14" business laptop. Just get a model with an IPS screen and SSD and you're golden.

    I would recommend getting a Dell XPS 13 9380 or a XPS 15 which is on sale on Dell Outlet. I'll give you a link:
