I need professional advice, please help!

<p>Are there any other laptops other than the m11x that you suggest?
Or any other options that I should consider? I’m really stuck and am unsure if I should try to convince my parents to get the m11x or if I should just go with what they say and get whatever $700 they think is good and then in 2 years buy a cheap POS laptop again because that $700 will be outdated.</p>
