What's a GOOD Laptop for College? [REPS]
Not into computer gaming but wants something solid/for classes that won't break the bank. 500-800 bucks maybe?

MacBook Air. Period. Very light, and fast and the battery seems endless. Anything else is inferior.

Not sure who has better return policy. The few times I've did return with amazon it was pretty easy.
This one here is Refurb T14s for $457

I've had my Thinkpad for 6 years now. Maxed it with 64GB RAM, 4Tb SSD. It's a good machine just by having the GOAT keyboard feel. It also looks professional and business-like rather than screaming teenage Tyler Swift fan. So I would recommend a Thinkpad.

I mostly wanted to give you well-wishes for sending your kid off to college, but these links might help:
Best sellers in traditional laptops
https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/pc/13896615011/
Best sellers in 2-in-1 laptops
https://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/pc/13896609011/
I mostly refuse to buy from 3rd party sellers in those lists (if I can't find the same being sold directly from Amazon then I ignore it). I might make an exception if it's definitely through Prime and has a lot of reviews.
I will say that I've had pretty good luck with Acer and HP laptops.

I have a Lenovo Yoga 710 (I think that's the model?). Got it for everyday stuff like 7 years ago and it's still doing just fine. The only problem, and it's well known for that model, is the fan runs loud and relentlessly for zero reason, even when the unit is cool. I found a few different work arounds but it's still an issue.

You get a MacBook if you want something that’ll last for a minimum 5 years. An M1 MacBook Air is what you’re looking for in that price range.

Get your kid a base MacBook pro.
1. Computer hardware has been overkill for years now and even the cheapest hardware is overkill for all but the latest games. The difference is, Apple has the best build quality in the game. If you get a specced out MacBook, then yes, very overpriced, but the base model has the same build quality and is actually a good deal.
2. People are sheep and the smart move is to play the game rather than complaining. Sloots like Apple, getting your kid Apple stuff will help him with sloots, not a lot but it does help. If you love your kid, spend the extra money.
