Need Laptop For Studying Computer Science

[massoftheearth]

Hi! I'm looking for a laptop for studying computer science. I prefer a lightweight, portable model without a dedicated GPU, as I'll primarily be using it at university. My preferred order is this: overall performance > build quality > battery life > all I've identified four laptops that stand out within my budget. Assuming they are all on sale in my country and prices are all the same ,which one is the best choice?

1- Lenovo Yoga 7 2-in-1 (14' ) with Ryzen 8840HS, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, 60 Hz WUXGA OLED Display
2- Huawei Matebook 14 with Ultra 7 155H, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, 120 Hz 2.8K OLED Display
3- ASUS Zenbook 14 with Ultra 7 155H, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, 60 Hz WUXGA OLED Display
4- ASUS Vivobook S15 with Ryzen 8845HS, 32 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, 120 Hz 2.8K OLED Display

Go by price

Definitely ASUS Vivobook S15 with Ryzen 8845HS. Meanwhile, why do you say “prices are all the same”？Huawei's matebook 14(ultra7) is 140$ more expensive than ASUS zenbook14(ultra9 version)，and almost twice the price of the Lenovo's one

Regardless quality, I recommend avoiding Lenovo.

I recommend the ASUS Vivobook for one reason - a larger screen.

Look for a replaceable (not soldered down) SSD. Also look for expandable RAM, especially if you buy a 16 GB notebook.
Chances are, you're going to need virtual machines, perhaps more than one at a time, for various purposes during the course of your study. 16 GB easily becomes a bottleneck when running VMs. That was just my first thought, but do try to learn more about what demanding software you'll need and what processing tasks you'll have to run on your PC.
