Distance learning computer

What is the best computer for distance learning?

I use a Macbook Pro from 2012, and it still works great! I think the most important thing for distance learning is reliable Wifi ?

Yeah, I am probably over thinking this...

Yeah, I'd just go with anything fairly new. You don't want it to crap out on you the night before a paper is due! Other than that, all you need is WiFi and a word processing program. I would recommend decent audio so you can hear the lectures--it's annoying to have the volume turned all the way up and still have to be perfectly still so you don't miss something.

Personally, I have a Lenovo Yoga 2-in-1 and I absolutely adore it. It's super light and portable, great battery life, great audio, and durable. I dropped it on my wood floor the other day and it was fine!

That was the one I was looking at last night.

I have a Lenovo Yoga, too, and it's great for my needs. 

Reliable wifi and access to a backup computer are definitely plusses.
