Many university classes now allow or even require students to use their laptops in class for a variety of purposes. Having a laptop with a long battery life is essential for note-taking during long lectures. You also want one that's light enough and small enough to fit in a backpack or tote, for easy travel.

Also, the built-in fingerprint reader is hit-or-miss.
