what would yall recommend for a college laptop. I’m not doing anything cpu intensive. just biology and premed. I’m really only comfortable with windows.

I’m going into premed and need a new laptop. What would yall recommend I get? I’m trying to stay under 2000 use. I prefer windows.

I’m starting collage this fall and I can’t figure out what laptop to buy. I’ve been looking at Dells but I’m not sure. I’m going to be taking a lot of notes so I’ll need a fair bit of storage. I’ll be using it everyday. I would perfect something with a good battery life but if I have to charge it a little more often it’s not a huge deal. I want it to last me at least 4 years, hopefully more. I’m trying to stay under $2000 USD.
