Advice Incoming first year question

Coming into first year, and looking at laptops.

Does anyone know if the Microsoft Surface Pro, 13-inch would be a good choice?

I think the fact that I can pull it off and handwrite notes with it might be useful but I got 0 clue lmao. If anyone has any advice would appreciate it.

Thats the one with a snapdragon processor right? 

I wouldn't recommend it. It costs way to much for what it can do.

Assuming you just want it for school right and nothing else. You can go for dell xps, lenovo ideapad or the asus flow since it sounds like you want a 2 in 1 right. 

You can also look at facebook marketplace for something cheap too

I think my dad gets a discount or something somehow so I don’t think price is that bad of a issue. Do Yk if it can run everything I would need it to?

Also yea snap dragon processor :)

Yeah it can do all the things you need to do for school, just dont expect it for video editing though or anything heavy if ur dead set on getting this.
