I would like to get myself a new notebook, laptop or the like, primarily I would like to use this for typing reports, researching and occasionally using music / video editing.
Now I'm standing between several tracks.
I don't know what the best software for such a device is, each one has its advantages and disadvantages.
Which software would you recommend? Windows, AppleOS, Android?
I think the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 tablets are really nice, but I don't know whether Android is so suitable for studying, maybe someone has experience?
Mac Book Pro 13 inch newest gen will cost you around 1000.
Is very recommendable
Personally, I would prefer a small 11-inch notebook with Windows or Linux, but both are possible for your application areas.
Lenovo IdeaPad 1 or something like that is very cheap, but the hardware will probably not be sufficient for editing, but I would rather move something like that to a large PC.
I've had the Surface 4 Pro for many years and I'm very happy with it. In my opinion, it is ideal for studying because you can take it with you and it is very easy.
I think Windows is great, I also used a MacBook, thought it was okay. Word is a very great free program for your application, I don't know of any comparable from Apple. I would keep my hands off Android. I have an Asus ZenBook 3 Deluxe and I'm very happy with it, light, portable and fast.
Many thanks for your response. Yes, I have already thought of the Asus Zenbook
Thank you, what do you think of the surface 7 pro?
Can you work with it with an Android phone?
The new Apple MacBook Air with M1 chip is a very good choice. The MacBook Pro with M1 will bring you little or no advantage.
The battery life is very good, so you are guaranteed to get through a day at university with research and office. The keyboard is also very good for long typing.
Music and video editing is also possible. You should check beforehand whether your preferred program is compatible with MacOS or runs on the M1 via Rosetta or natively.
I would advise against an Android tablet. Many apps are not optimized for tablets, so you have XXL smartphone apps. With music and video editing, it could also be problematic because of suitable and high-quality apps.
Microsoft Office can only be used there with a Microsoft 365 subscription. You can't buy the office for a one-time price. The office problem also exists with the iPad. Your university may offer you a corresponding subscription free of charge or at a reduced price.
I have nothing to say against Windows or iPadOS.
With a Mac Book, it would be good if you have an Iphone.
Have a Samsung flagship: /
I don't like PCs, thanks anyway.
Thank you very much for the detailed answer. Does it make sense to buy a MacBook Air if you normally only use Samsung? Purely for compatibility?
Well then a laptop with an I7 More is worth it

I recently got the MacBook Air and also have an Android smartphone (OnePlus).
With a small extra tool you can access the data from the smartphone via USB. Just like you know it from Windows.
I miss a Wi-Fi direct variant like AirDrop or Google's Nearby Share. Nearby Share will soon also come to Google Chrome.
My own cloud can also handle smaller files. You can also use Google Drive and co. To use.
Apart from that, I haven't noticed a lack of compatibility between MacOS and Android.
The data from individual programs such as Microsoft Office are always stored independently, if desired, in OneDrive and not in iCloud or Google Drive by device.
Great thank you. Then this is another option for me now
