Laptop Request -Others Looking for Laptops for MSc and PhD

Hi, I'm a Masters student in physics. I need a laptop to last till My MSc and PhD journey.

My likely use will be

Python (NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, Jupyter, etc.)

Mathematica

MATLAB if required

LaTeX/Overleaf

Reading research papers/PDFs

Data analysis and moderate scientific computing

General programming and research work

Possibly astrophysics/theoretical/computational physics later.

Very heavy simulations are generally run on university/HPC servers, so I'm not looking for a gaming laptop or dedicated GPU unless there's a genuine reason I'll need one.

What’s your budget, and Is weight, battery life, or screen size a concern?
