Comment on Need a keyboard with a dedicated "slop" button
Uebercomplicated@lemmy.ml 6 days agoI’m really happy with my ASUS Zenbook 14 (16GB memory, 512GB SSD, Intel Core Ultra 7 255H), which I got for $700, in case you’re still looking for a recommendation. Absolutely worth it IMO, though I’m running Linux, so the Copilot key is mapped to the compose key.

Went with an Acer. Best keyboard, tiny screen borders for a fairly compact 16” screen, 32G, 2TB …. I forget which CPU, we looked at so many.
The big question is battery life, and we decided to risk it. For a claimed 9.5 hours battery life when new, will it still get through a realistic full day of classes for the next four years. Hopefully

I’ve had good experiences with Acer with previous laptops, so that was probably a good choice. Best of luck to your kid!
