Posted November 16, 2020 Looking for a decent laptop for a science teacher. Tough, good keyboard, small size, and powerfully enough to handle everything that she can throw at it. I think I narrowed it down to the Lenovo L13 Yoga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 16, 2020 We need to know your budget and which country you're buying in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ pythonmegapixel into tech, public transport and architecture // amateur programmer // youtuber // beginner photographer Thanks for reading all this by the way! By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.

The cheapest one I've found that checks all the boxes is $950 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, a description like that could include e.g. fluid-dynamics simulations that'll bring even a 64-core AMD Epyc CPU to its knees. Hand, n.

It doesn't need to be super powerful, I just want it to last a few years. She used mostly office programs, and has many Goole tabs open while she's working. An I5 with 16gb ram should be fine.

That's why I was looking at the Thinkpads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 17, 2020 if youre going for build quality reliability and decent performance i really really hate to say this but you could ask her if shes interested in a macbook air or like a 2018 macbook pro as its suits all your wants and for most teachers during covid its great because it has a webcam and mic for virtual classes and canhandle common tasks pretty easily and you can also run with a few tabs open.
