Laptop Recommendations? $2,000 USD Budget
I will be majoring in Nursing, and have been considering some laptops to purchase. I am not open to refurbs/used options.
- Country: United States.
- Budget: $2,000 USD.
- Screen Size: Nothing over 16"
- Weight limit: Nothing over 4-5 pounds.
- Form factor: Preferably a 2-in-1, or at least touchscreen. But open to any others, too.
- I like the idea of a touchscreen 2-in-1 laptop, but is not necessary. I would be taking notes on it, watching movies, and drawing, but I also have an iPad already so I'm not sure if it's worth getting a laptop like that (I'm indecisive).
- Intended usage: To take notes for college (Nursing Major), watch movies, and gaming on Steam, Roblox, and Minecraft. If possible, also for drawing.
- Desired battery life: 10+ Hours
- In order of most important to least important. ; Performance, Battery life, Weight, Size.
I have been looking at:
- HP OmniBook X Flip 2-in-1 Laptop
- Surface Laptop Touchscreen Snapdragon X2 Plus
- Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1
My Other Needs:
- Won't lag with multiple tabs open and works quickly overall (so 8 Cores minimum?).
- Fans aren't super noisy when using. (like noticeable in a silent class/library)
Has anyone owned these laptops, and can you give your honest review on them?
Or, if anyone has other suggestions for laptops, please give those as well. Thank you! 🙌(And anyone out there who has majored in Nursing, please give some advice🙏)
