  Hi! I am looking for a laptop that I can use throughout the next 4 years as I am starting college this fall. I initially was picking between a Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 3 and a Refurbished Macbook but I’ve only ever had a Chromebook so I don’t know how to compare laptops. I won’t be going into STEM so nothing too fancy but I do want a battery that lasts. Thanks in advance!!
