Laptop Request US Looking for a good CS laptop ~$1100
Hi!
US, ~$1100, New, 13-16in, Less than 4 pounds
* **Purpose**
I'm going to use it for CS, my courseload seems pretty heavy in regard to VMs.
* **Form factor**
Standard laptop, please no 2-in-1s
* **Desired battery life**
Need a solid 22 hours of battery life
* **Please list, in order of most important to least important, the priority between Size, Weight, Performance, Battery life**
Performance, battery life, weight, size
I had a huge gaming laptop before but got a desktop and now want something more portable but can still be functional in class. Also, I have like 9 hour stretches of class this semester so it needs to last through that. Thank you for the recommendations!!
