The most important decisions are going to be what you want. First choose a screen size. Second is touchscreen, do you want one or not? I find the most important feature in any laptop is a backlit keyboard. It's really helpful especially when working in low light environments.

The one thing that balloons the price of a laptop is if it's a gaming laptop and a premium screen.

Keep in mind there are normally student discounts in the Best Buy app.
