A used Lenovo ThinkPad P series is one of the best tech deals you can get if you're in the market for a laptop. These PC's had state of the art technology when new and are designed to be easily repaired and upgraded. You can max the RAM out at 64GB, and with 2 NVMe and 1 2.5" SATA, there's no reason you can't have all your 8K homework in one place. Gaming is possible on the newer models like the P53 and P15, though they do cost a bit more. If you're a bit clumsy, these models are so much sturdier than a new consumer computer so they make a great choice for a basic user like a student or child.
