Help purchasing a laptop for college

I need a laptop with the next 3 weeks for school. I am majoring in EE if that matters? I don’t think Windows is 100% required, and I have my desktop if I desperately need Windows for something or another.

Price range is sub $500, maybe 600 if it’s worth the increase in price. All I want is something with decent general power (no need for insane video) and a nice display. Display probably being most important. I cannot stand working with a shitty craptop display.

What are some decent options I have? Only reason I came here to ask is because I know this forum is full of good shoppers, a skill that I have lost since I haven’t purchased one piece of computer hardware in over a year…

Thanks ahead for any help!

I don't think so, that's why I wasn't sure if it mattered.
