Honestly dude just look at r laptop deals and slickdeals and look for an i5 with 8gb ram and ssd would be my criteria (Absolute must).
I have and like the acer nitro 5 as it's good for gaming as well it has a gtx 1050ti (btw you only need dedicated graphics if you like gaming this was the older one though so i'm not sure about the new gen) and costs around $600 on sale ($550 if you can wait) https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Nitro-AN515-Laptop-i5-8300H/dp/B07KSK447S/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_lp_tr_t_2/130-8322783-1713326?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=GZB9JSMRX5Q8R3HRZ44K. The downsides to this one is the battery life is not the best and it is heavy.
There are lighter options with better battery life as well without a good graphics card for around the same range.
I doubht umbc is any cheaper than amazon, newegg, best buy or costco on sale.
I'd say 5-$600 is a good amount to spend and will last you 4 years.
Basically you can pick 2 of the 3:
I've found it's not worth it to try to save $1-200 here for a laptop and to invest more.
At the same time there's no way in hell i'm paying more than $700 for a laptop so the people that say spend $1200 should be ignored unless you want all 3 of the criteria on the list above.
BTW umbc cs is very linux centric for almost all classes. I've basically never used windows for coding. Windows is really only used for Malware analysis and for that class they give you a VM with XP on it.
Hope this helps.
You could also get a kettle from amazon for under 20 bucks. That way you can make other things like tea, hot chocolate, instant coffee and more.
