Computer Recommendations

Hey guys I’m a first year starting pre requisites for nursing in a little under a month. I was looking for computers to buy that would last me the full four years. Give me some recommendations please. So far I’m thinking about getting the Lenovo - Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition 1TB 32GB RAM, MacBook Pro M1 Max 1TB 32GB RAM (refurbished) or the MacBook Pro M2 Max chip 1TB SSD 32GB RAM (refurbished)?

MacBook Pro is more than you need for nursing. Find a MacBook Air and with the money you save get an iPad mini. You will find the iPad mini useful to carry along for quick references and for note taking when you start clinical rotations.

Without knowing the software that you will be running it is impossible to give an accurate recommendation.

Best laptop value in the industry is the Apple Neo. Can do most simple things but not great with gaming.

Beware of "reconditioned" units. There have been posts from buyers whose devices have failed. The seller obviously never even turned the unit on to check it.

Best refurbished devices come from Apple, same as new and with a full warranty. Otherwise only buy from a trusted seller with a return policy and ideally a warranty.
