At home and office we have some Asus and Acer and nothing to report.
Hi all, I'm a college student looking to get a laptop (my previous one was lost to an unfortunate spillage incident that need not be discussed). I'll probably just use it for schoolwork, going on the internet, writing, listening to music, some basic photo editing - nothing too esoteric. I shouldn't spend too much money on it, so I'm looking at ones in the $600 or less range. I'm hoping for one that:
-Has Windows 10
-Has a 13.3'' or 14'' screen
-Has at least 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage
-Has at least 7 hours of battery life
-Is light enough to carry around - ideally 4 pounds or less

I'm not sure which of these would be best, though. Does anyone have a recommendation for which out of these four I should get? Or, does anyone suggest something different? Much appreciated!
