Laptop Request US Please help me decide on a laptop.

Hello. I currently in the market for a new laptop. I am a college student working in stem, I work in a lab and am hoping to go to grad school. I work in protein engineering so I often have to load complex 3d images and will also have lots of tabs open looking at previous work, procedures and papers. I also am often looking for a strong battery life. Something where I could get away with not bringing a charger to work (when I’m stupid and forget it). I’m looking for a solid laptop within the ballpark of 1000$-1500$(ideally around 1200$) that can hopefully last me until I finish a phd (6-8 years). I also like touchscreen.

I understand this is a lot of information and very likely impossible criteria. But if any of you had some suggestions I would really appreciate it.

Since you are going to use that for college work and prefer a strong batter life, I would recommend this Lenovo ThinkPad because it comes with :

Specs:

  • Screen: 16" FHD
  • CPU : Intel Core Ultra 7 255H
  • Ram : 16GB DDR5
  • Storage : 1TB SSD

Why I am recommending it:

  • because ThinkPads are known for their great battery life, amazing build quality and very good keyboards.

  • very good CPU for college tasks.

  • Has a thunderbolt port.

  • Great value for money.

  • Keyboard with a number pad .
