So I'm looking to get a laptop basically exclusively for school. I'll need to be able to take notes, get online, watch youtube, etc. I don't want to spend a lot of money obviously, but I want a laptop that's not crap quality. I'll spend at least $300.
Would like:
- it to be portable
- have decent battery life
- look like it belongs in this decade
Can anyone help me find something reasonable?
