Spend a little more and get a MacBook air. University networks are awful for Windows machines (I know I worked IT at a University for 13 years). You can use your student ID to get a discount or your student store will probably have them. You can dual boot and still play pure Windows games if needed. No love for Macs in this group but they work 100% of the time and great for students.

2 cores, 4 threads... sounds perfect if you ask me... shit i might buy it just cuz

 

[Jonathan van der Steen]

Only issue i have with it is thats it 1x8gb ram... with integrated graphics that will slow it down instead of say 2x4gb ram, but for school you should be fine. If you like to watch movies on your laptop I would upgrade the screen and at that price point i think its a great deal

I didn't see the comment about "light photo editing" this laptop wouldn't be able to do that
