What type of laptop would be best?

I have been back and forth trying to figure out what type of laptop to purchase for school. Obviously, I will be a Pre-Med student, and it is important to me that I get the best computer for my major. I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on what type of computer to get (I’m deciding between a PC or Mac) and I would appreciate it if you gave a reasoning for your answer. In addition, whatever type of laptop I get will determine what kind of phone I end up with. (I really want my laptop and phone to sync without hassle). Thank you so much in advance! -E

This is easy, a cheap one. Just remember to back-up all your work (offsite if possible). The reason for this answer is that medical school is expensive.
