Suggest a laptop for college with...

[Tazz 316]

Looking for a laptop that is thin and light with easy access to the battery, RAM, Hard drive backlit keyboard would be nice along with battery life. Srceen size anywhere from 13-15 inch. Windows 10, i don't think it needs a touch screen.

 

Only will be used for general stuff word, excel web surf on line class youtube etc. No gaming have a  budget of $1,500 but of course i would like to spend way less

 

It is for the wife she wants a Apple of course but i dislike there stuff for as far as i know the battery can not be replaced very easily. She is getting a business degree so it's nothing CPU/GPU intense.

 

Would be a bonus if it where silver in color.

 

Does this laptop exist with windows?

 

Thanks in advanced.

Thinkpad. Imo the best laptops for Windows. You should also consider used / older models, which would save a buck. Replaceable battery (actually pretty much everything is replaceable in those) and upgradeable. Tons of models and specs, very big user base, saturated used market, lots of spare parts

Probably no silver color though, you'll have to stick with Boring Business Black

Am i the only one that keeps a laptop long enough  that the battery dies?

take a look at Lenovo thinkpads. they're all round solid and have the best keyboards in the industry. 

 

For the love of god dont buy a Mac, theyr really overpriced.

Don't buy a new Lenovo ThinkPad. Here's why:

Spoiler

Recently, I bought two P1 Gen 2 laptops (pretty much the same as the X1E Gen 2) and one of them had a defective keyboard. That's completely unacceptable on a $2000 business laptop. Aside from that, battery life was also terrible (I was getting like 6 hours) and the materials just didn't feel expensive. Lenovo's quality control is garbage and you should avoid buying modern ThinkPads. On top of that, Lenovo's customer service is trash (they have a 1.7 star rating on Google) and the laptop's shipment was delayed like two weeks.

 

I returned both of them and bought a MacBook Pro 13" instead (it was actually cheaper than the P1 Gen 2) and I'm completely satisfied with that decision.

And are you happier that you switched from Windows to MacOS? I am also switching to MacOS for the first time and I never wanna touch anything coming from Microsoft again! I am sick of formatting, bugs, buggy updates, you name it.

Absolutely. I'm even seriously considering turning my desktop PC into a Hackintosh. I'll never buy a Windows laptop again.
