Which mid-range laptop would you recommend for students?

Which mid-range laptop would you recommend for students? MacBook Air is already expensive. But it can be between 500-899

I would recommend the cheapest used laptop on Ebay classifieds you can find. Of course, he should still be able to run office programs.

What do you want to use the notebook for?

For most, a notebook can handle what the Internet and Office can do completely, which is then used in the lectures.

Then a used notebook with a small screen (small screen so that it is lighter and more energy-efficient and therefore more mobile) is also good for business.

If you also want to paint on the screen or create sketches directly on or on the screen, then a tablet or convertible may be right for you. A convertible is often better because of presentations, since it is usually better to connect it if the projector does not accept a signal from Android directly. Convertibles also have a keyboard.

Unfortunately, the Surface has few connections (there you may have to work with adapters or clarify in advance that you have online access to an external presentation computer for presentations - check the presentation here in advance).

The Chromebook has no Windows but Google ChromeOS as the operating system, work that may have to be submitted to MS Office should be checked more closely if everything is correct (formatting etc.)

or

if it can easily cost more:

It then has Windows and all the necessary interfaces.

I would only buy an Apple computer if this is explicitly requested or if there are advantages in the course (for example because the course generally works with Apple)

So I get all the taxes back so it can cost up to 900, but I don't want a convirtable. Which one can you recommend to me?

This would also be suitable: https://www.otto.de/...=978300090 It is even less than 500 euro because it has an AMD Ryzen 5 processor, AMD is currently cheaper than Intel and has a good price-performance ratio. Windows 10 is included. The battery life is approximately 10 hours.

You can get Microsoft Office 2019 Professional Plus cheap here: https://www.rakuten.de/produkt/microsoft-office-2019-professional-plus-vollversion-2470552865 This is just the product key. This is an OEM version. OEM versions are full versions which e.g. With a computer. A court ruling in 2000 ruled that OEM versions can also be sold and bought separately. After activation, the license is permanently saved in your Microsoft account. With a new installation, you no longer have to enter the product key.

Ok then I recommend you this one:

or here:

and here is a review of the notebook:

https://www.notebookcheck.com/...915.0.html

You can get even better performance if you have a second RAM module installed so that the RAM can run in the dual channel, which is particularly beneficial for the integrated graphics unit.

The SSD is sufficiently large with 512GB and if the 16GB were not installed as a single channel, it would also have sufficient dimensions so that the memory would not actually have to be expanded.

The high-contrast 14 "IPS display is still small enough that you can take the notebook with you every day and is not reflective.

The battery life in practice with 7-8 hours should also be sufficient.

Honestly, do you really think that it is an OEM or DSP version of Office 2019 Professional Plus?

An Office 2019 Professional Plus is not sold by Microsoft as a single product, nor is it offered as an OEM or DSP version.

And the note that this version is not suitable for MAC gives an indication that it can't be an Office from the 365 program.

It is an office from a volume license.

The resale of such a license would be legal, but only as a complete license with all the rights of use included and not split into many individual licenses.

The EuG judgment, which is funnily mentioned again and again, is not applicable at all, it is only about licenses that are intended for use on individual computers, which may be sold as a large package to PC manufacturers, but not as a volume for companies who then use the software on all company computers.

Is it also available with Intel?

Or doesn't it matter?

In most cases it doesn't matter. Unless you want to run such extraordinary software that it only runs on Intel, but in that case you would have very specific specifications for the CPU.

But you can find a similar notebook with an Intel CPU (see review).

This then has a larger screen and should be a bit slower in terms of CPU and graphics than the device with AMD CPU.

And the battery life is also shorter at around 6 hours

Would you like the dell xps

ultrabook 13.3 inch https://www.idealo.de/...35347.html Full HD 8 GB RAM 256 GB SSD storage Intel UHD Graphics 620 Windows 10 Home 1.23 recommend for 850 euro? Or are the ones you listed better?

The Ultrabooks are particularly compact devices, which usually makes these devices more economical. But unfortunately, these devices are usually encapsulated by housings so that they are very unfriendly to service. The Thinkpads have a few screws on the bottom of the case so that you can remove the bottom of the case and then upgrade the memory. (If necessary, the SSD and the battery can be replaced).

In terms of CPU performance, the I7 should be slightly above the I5 on the Thinkpad, but you have less RAM (but 8 GB would be enough) and a smaller SSD.

However, since CPU and CPU performance are hardly necessary for the Internet and Office, my first recommendation also went to a used notebook. For 230, - € you get a device that is completely sufficient for internet and office, with the 12.5 "display is also compact and has enough RAM and SSD storage. The saved money can usually be spent more sensibly as a student in other things.
