Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5, Best Budget Laptop for Students, which comes with a Ryzen 5 processor, is a great laptop for school activities. There's plenty of power, a very nice 14-inch IPS display, 16 GB of RAM, and a 256-GB SSD. The 360-degree hinge converts it to tablet mode or stand mode for watching movies in your dorm.
To take full advantage of the 2-in-1 design, be sure to grab the digital pen ($40). Another reason why everyone like the IdeaPad is the plethora of ports: You get two USB-A ports, an HDMI, an SD card reader, one USB-C, a headphone jack, and a charging port (though you can use the USB-C to recharge the laptop too).
If you're a computer science major or plan to do some video editing, the more powerful Ryzen 7 version can be had for just a little more. (Wired)
