My Personal Pick
MacBook Pro 13-inch 2020
I will always recommend the MacBook Pro for any student, and with good reason. This multifaceted device can handle any task thrown its way, from note-taking to video editing. What's different about this MacBook Pro 2020 version is it's one the first of its kind to shift away from the Intel processor and now has Apple's own M1 chip.
Price: Starting at $899.99
Second Best Option
Levono IdeaPad Flex 5 14
The Levono IdeaPad Flex 15 4 laptop probably has the best value for the money and performance, thanks in part to having an AMD Ryzen 5 4500u processor. It's a 2-in-1 device that can also be converted into a tablet and includes a digital stylist pen. This laptop would be perfect for college students majoring in art design and engineering.
Price: $657.00
The Budget Option
MSI Modern 14
Money-conscious students must get their hands on the MS1 Modern 14. The under $500 laptop does have above-average hardware specs that will get through day-to-day tasks—rated high as having excellent battery life. Strikingly has a sleek quality design.
Price: $479,99
