I mostly need the laptop for school so it needs to be able to run general applications like Chrome, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. I would also like to be able to do some light gaming. Nothing too vigorous just some Minecraft so it would need some type of dedicated graphics card or at least the ability to use a different dedicated graphics card. I would also like to be able to run some very basic video editing software as well as some very basic music production software such as mix craft and windows movie maker. 8 gigs of ram minimum, but 16 gigs is preferable. And would appreciate a SSD, but an HDD is okay too. I need some type of warranty. It can't be too expensive. Something under $800 is preferable. I don't really want anything used. I don't know if this type of laptop exists so any and all suggestions are helpful.
What's the best laptop for a college student that allows for light gaming, video editing, and music production?
One with a built in tracker for when it gets stolen.
MacBook Air omg especially one with an intel i7
