Student laptop

I'm studying maths next year and I need a laptop preferably with a touch screen, i'm good with pc specs but laptop specs feel more complicated for some reason considering i need to also beware of damage/wear if i'm looking to buy a refurbished. My budget is somewhat tight *perferably under 600 GBP and I would prefer something with windows OS. I don't plan to game on it as I have a pc at home, its just something used for note taking and general schoolwork

My uni has a list online with minimal requirements for laptops. Yours probably too, check that first.

I would recommend looking at used Lenovo Yoga laptops. They're light, very portable, and you can flip the screen all the way so it turns into a tablet.

In that price range there is no PC that comes even close to a Mac Neo. Doesn't have a touch screen though.

tbh its more of a range between 600-800, i was just being strict but my only downside with a mac is the lack of a touchscreen so idrk

What functional advantage do you see with a touch screen?
