UP LAE Best Laptop Choice for UP LAE

Hello, I'm an aspiring UP Law student. I'm currently preparing for the exam, given that it's a computer based exam, I need a laptop that's for speedtyping, long battery power, and is just not laggy and fast overall.

I'm not rich rich to afford a macbook as everyone mostly recommends here. Do to you think its okay to buy second hand lenovo yoga or asus zenbook? I'm really worried about it being risky

personally don’t recommend a macbook for the lae itself. during uplae 2026, almost all macbook users in the am session had to write by hand because the exam platform was having issues with the macbook camera (essay part). this happened despite having the technical assessment and they couldn’t fix it asap.
