I need to purchase a new laptop for business school. Kellogg's website has a bunch of recommendations are far as memory, speed, etc. However, there isn't a recommendation as far as what brand to purchase but they did say that a lot of students have Lenovo. What do you guys think?

If you want to play a game on your laptop then you must have high-speed ram and high Featured Graphic Card. And if you are in search of High Featured Graphic Card in Pakistan then you can get Graphic card from many online stores.

hey
i think for laptop to be called as best(for business student) it has to check these things
1. thin and light weight
2. better battery life say 8 hrs or more is more than sufficient

Any laptop giving you this would be suitable for your use

THE ORDER HERE DOESNT MATTERS ALL ARE GREAT
MICROSOFT SURFACE BOOK
HP SPECTRE
DELL XPS 13 OR XPS 15
LENOVO YOGA C630
LENOVO THINKPAD X1 CARBON SERIES
HUAWEI MATEBOOK X PRO (IF NOT USA

)
ASUS CHROMEBOOK
ASUS ZENBOOK
ASUS VIVOBOOK
MACBOOK AIR (NOT PRO FOR AN MBA STUDENT OR FOR ANY STUDENT WHO IS NOT WORKING ON HIGH END GRAPHICS OR EDITING VIDEO PRO IS SIMPLY WASTE)
YOU CANT GAME ON THESE LAPTOPS AS MAINLY THEY ARE NOT MEANT FOR HIGH END GRAPHIC USE
FOR GAMING AND FOR A LIGHT LAPTOP IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE THAT IS RAZOR BLADE FOR BUDGET I WOULD SAY LENOVO LEGION Y540,Y740 OR ACER HELIOS 300 OR ACER NITRO 500(EXCEPT FOR NITRO BATTERY IS 2-3 HRS ONLY)

A TIP IF YOU WANT TO GO FOR A MACBOOK OR FOR DELL OR SURFACE PRODUCTS ALWAYS CHECK FOR A REFURBISHED OPTION AS THEY ARE OFFERED ON A GOOD DISCOUNT WITH THE SAME WARRANTY
CHEERS HOPE IT HELPS
