Collage Laptop stuff

Hello, so I am off to collage this fall and I am currently very confused on what kind of laptop to purchase. I don't need anything fancy, like a 4K or OLED display, just something I could casually run a few AAA games on with Med to High graphics in between classes, and maybe like 1 TB of storage just for documents and games. Any recommendations?

Any budget you're sticking to?

 Xi Jinping loves LTT (trust me).

 

Everything I say is true, unless it's false.

Gaming laptops for college suck, because their battery runs out fast. You will have to compromise on the gaming part, but I'd recommend an XPS 15, whatever latest version Dell has right now.

 

As for storage, consider using Google Drive instead, and focus on SSD speeds.

As stated before - there is no way around compromises...

 

MacBook Air M1 is the best overall laptop, if you are willing to give up some of your AAA games (google compatibility with your titles).

Ehhhh, I am not really a fan of apple computers, since it has been 10+ years since I have actually daily driven one.
