What are you going to study in college? Anything that might benefit from particular specs?
Biomedical sciences
If you’re looking for a typewriter/browser I picked up a thinkpad gen 1 x1 nano for 1k usd recently. 3:2 high-res display, dual USB4 and that’s it. Excellent battery life and runs Debian stable like a champ. An M1 MacBook Air should go about the same and works great for the wife.
Are you doing any modeling eg. renders or high-res pictures? Does your school recommend anything? Anything else important for you?
I’d like it to last at least 4-5 years. From what I’ve seen I’m leaning towards getting a used or new thinkpad not sure of the model though
