I will be attending college in the fall as an Accounting & Finance double major (may switch to Accounting & MIS). I know little to nothing about tech, specs, etc. so any input is greatly appreciated! I have been looking into a few laptops such as Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 Aura Edition 16" Intel laptop. From what I’ve heard, it sounds good but I haven’t seen much reviews on it.
Laptop will mostly be used for college. If I have free time (likely rare), I want to play games and VC with friends.
Factors to consider:
- Good or exceptional battery life (8-10+ hours of schoolwork)
- 10-digit number pad
- Can run Accounting/Finance or Accounting/MIS (still deciding) software
- Portable as a commuter
- Can run Roblox (most important lol). I also want to try Valorant for the first time, but it’s NOT a priority. I’m playing everything on low graphics because I’m used to it
- Doesn’t heat up signficantly
- Good cooling systems
- Fans aren’t TOO loud
- Smooth performance and gameplay
- 16" laptop
- Weighs less than 5 lbs
- Can multitask on it
- Can handle LOTS of tabs…
- On the Lenovo website, there’s a grad sale going on so I would get a $400 discount on this laptop. This would bring my costs to $1,399.99, but might be less if I can add a student discount… not sure though
