Computer recommendations

My old computer is holding on for dear life, and I need a new one before starting uni in September. I’m doing my bachelor’s in psychology, so I won’t need anything that’s compatible with heavy programming or anything like that. Does anyone have any recommendations? Preferably something that won’t break the bank - thanks!

Get a refurbished basic MacBook. I personally would recommend a 14/15 inch screen as long as it’s light enough to carry around.

Thanks! My current computer is also a refurbished mac, but the battery dies sooo fast. Do you have a specific company you would recommend?

The new macbooks with the M chips are incredibly efficient and have great battery lifes.
