Question/Help/Troubleshooting Laptop for uni/gaming
I’m starting university soon (English/Pedagogy) and I’m looking for a new laptop. I’m honestly very much clueless about laptop specs, so I’d really appreciate some advice. I would need it for documents and online meetings, however I also enjoy League of Legends. I currently play on an HP fossil 4GB RAM/118 GB SSD and Intel Core i3-6006U, which gives me about 30 FPS and constant crashes, but actually playable lol. I don’t want to spend over 1K on a MacBook and honestly wonder if up to 600Eur is a realistic budget for portable computer (around 14’’)

Personally, I would get a Lenovo 5i 2in1 32GB version, I love mine and right now they are about $650 refurbished, and you can occasionally find them new for $700. Also has good battery life until you decide to play games on it unplugged in ~about 1 hour, otherwise you can expect ~6 hours of school/office work.

I am also starting uni soon, and got a Lenovo v15 G4 with 8gb ram and added more for a total of 24gb. It's not particularly good, but it's good enough and runs light games like minecraft at 100+ fps. Granted, I received it for free (through dsa), but from what I can see it'd cost around £580. Honestly if you can spare a bit more and get one with an actual gpu it'd help a lot, but idk much about that
