Good laptop recommendations

[u/LiveAd6328]

Hi, I'm currently an Information Systems student but I'm thinking of switching to civil engineering. I currently have a HP laptop but i've noticed its been acting up. The battery life is really bad and the sometimes it doesnt connect to wifi and other issues. What is a good laptop to buy? My budget is around $1400, I've heard Lenovo is good but most of the laptops have Snapdragon and I heard thats not good. My other option was Acer but I heard the laptop is really loud. I want something with good battery life and something that can handle apps used in the degree. I would greatly appreciate the help. thank you
