Recommendation

I need help choosing a laptop. I'm going to start uni in a few months in computer science and just wondering which laptop is best no price range

A 14" or 16" Macbook pro is probably the best on the market if you don't plan on gaming. 

They have excellent battery life, bright displays for when you're working outside, and enough power to do pretty much anything you can throw at them.

you better give a price range or we'll recommend laptops that cost 5 figures seeing as theres no reason to not buy them

Previous generation gaming laptops are prime value, unfortunately they were all gobbled up recently. I even got one for my work laptop since I can easily outrun any ultrabook CPU.

 

They'll also help with code compiling speeds that you'll inevitably be limited by, so anything with a Ryzen 5800HS will help you in the long run. Most places have plenty of outlets where you really shouldn't have to worry about needing +3 hours of battery life anyways.

Can we get a little more context than "I can afford a $10k laptop" and "computer science".

 

Do you want a 13" inch ultralight or a 17" desktop replacement?   Battery life matter, or are you plugging in all the time?  Touchscreen?  Number pad?  Color?  Windows or Mac?

My brother/sister in Christ, you need to do better. I can send you a link to best buy's website with the $$ filter set to <5000. 
 

Your uni program should have sent you hardware recommendations. What programs do they say you'll be running? What games do you play? What peripherals do you plug into? How big a screen do you want? Are you a Mac or a PC?
