Hi Everyone!

I’m starting University next year and I’m looking at getting a good laptop.
I currently have a 128GB surface pro 6, however I find the limited storage a bit of problem and the detachable keyboard a major hindrance, especially with how flexible and un-sturdy it feels when typing.

The course I’m doing will likely only require word processing and light graphing and light data processing, so I probably don’t need any thing other then integrated graphics.

I’m looking at spending around $1300 ±$200 AUD, having 256gb - 500gb worth of storage, a good keyboard, and good battery.
The current laptops I have in mind are the…

256gb 8gb M1 MacBook Air
Inspiron 14

Inspiron 15

Inspiron 14 7000
https://deals.dell.com/en-au/productdetail/bajs
Any help with what I’ve currently suggested or other suggestions would be appreciated :)

Thanks

There are a number of SKU's in any given series to distinguish specs from one laptop to the next. It's why we ask for links to the laptop you're looking at. We can move forward from there once you parse links to said laptop. If you'd like suggestions on laptops outside of what you've shortlisted, then you should follow the stylization of this thread for a tailored answer.

Yikes sorry, I’ve updated it to include links
