Buy a laptop for your studies?

I need a new laptop for university, so it should last a long time, have good battery, not get stuck, boot up quickly, play a few SMALL games, etc. I would have thought of a laptop between 500 and 700 euro. In my research, I came across a few laptops: Acer Aspire 3 and 5, Lenovo IdeaPad 3 and 5, Asus Vivobook 15, Huawei Matebook D14 (I haven't looked up the exact variants of these models and the exact difference between Acer 3 and 5 as well I don't know Ideapad 3 and 5 either). Can someone recommend / not recommend one of them to me or has anyone had experience with it? Or maybe you know other laptops that are better suited and why?

Take a look at the Asus Vivobook S14

Hey thanks for the suggestion, the technology looks pretty good at first glance. Do you have experience with this laptop? Does it last a long time, how is the battery, how loud is it, how is the performance, etc?

I just bought the second Lenovo for the office. I'm very happy with it.

My son (computer scientist) had picked out another one from HP that was a little better. But I couldn't buy it because I'm no longer a student.

Depending on your requirements, it might be worth waiting until you are enrolled. The student programs from Campuspoint or Notebooksbilliger are definitely worthwhile.

Thanks for your answer. I haven't heard much from Campuspoint before. Are the laptops recommended there? I'm currently seeing a lot of negative reviews about the site that the laptops break quickly and the service is very poor.

Re

Well, there are the same brands as elsewhere.

My son and his fellow students almost all buy there.

True but would now have thought that it was about laptops that were perhaps produced "more economically" (?), since the laptops "Campus Edition" or "special model" are written to offer them cheaper for students. But well I have no plan would be a guess. I don't know anything about Campuspoint

Re

I hadn't thought of that at all. Hm…

It just wouldn't be particularly good for business if it were so, because word got around quickly.

I understand your concerns, something like this happened to me once with an Acer computer. In such a case, I would go to the lawyer immediately (if in doubt, to the consumer advice center) and not bother myself with it anymore. But also consider how many computers they sell. A certain percentage where it goes wrong is normal.
