What laptop does your child use for Uni

[iwantavuvezela]

DD is currently finishing A Levels, and hoping to go to Uni after that. Her laptop that was bought at the start of Covid has reached the end of its life and I want to upgrade it for her birthday.
went to curry's to have a look today at the options - she quite liked the Samsung Galaxy Book3.

she is going to study a stem subject. (if that is relevant)

Any advice from those with children at Uni on what they really needed?

At the moment looking for something lightweight(ish); decent battery; storage; and of course affordable!

I can on mine too. Our son used an Apple throughout his degree and had no problems at all using Word, Excel, Powerpoint, reading/creating PDfs etc etc. His only problem was that the programming software he had to use wouldn't work on Apple, but that's a pretty specialised software program, not bog standard MS Office apps.
