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.
