I'll be starting this fall and will need to buy a laptop for note-taking, writing papers, research etc. I have an old desktop computer at home but note-taking during classes would be a lot easier for me with a keyboard than a paper notebook. I also expect I'll be spending time in the library writing papers at least some of the time as where I live can get loud and rowdy. I'm not interested in a touch screen laptop (I'm worried about the screen durability), and I'll need something with good battery life. Anyone have a suggestion? Thank you!
