Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro

Strengths

The display is pretty nice and because it's not 4k, I expect that to help out battery life in spite of the fact that it is high refresh rate.
It's not a gaming machine, it's not a workstation, it's somewhere in between, which makes it a one size fits all for students professionals who are not looking to break the bank.
The specs are solid at the price point, tough to beat
Build quality looks good
The display is qhd 16 inches, completely serviceable, with high res combined with high refresh rate, there's not a lot to dislike about that
It has touchscreen capabilities
