What laptop do I need?

Hello,

Im sorry if this has been asked already but i couldnt find the question i have in the search option.

So im starting my studies as a Software Developer in a few months and the Uni told us that we need a laptop. For context, we will be doing frontend, backend, java and stuff like that.

I dont know much or anything about Software dev so im mot sure if we need a beefy laptop or basically "just anything that runs code"

I have a beefy PC at home for 3D design work i used to do.

Any recommendations for a laptop that i can use primarily for uni?

I preferably want something with a long battery life and under 1500$ (the less the better)

Thanks 🙂
