Shopping for college

My daughter is heading off to college next month and,  like my other kids, has Micro Center gift cards to use for it.  Usually I ask in the store for guidance on a machine that will work best for the needs of her major and buy based off recommendations, but this year is different and wait lists are real.  I am going to try and buy online instead.  That all being said, I am looking for recommendations on a laptop for an early childhood education major.  She is not a gamer, but does create lots of visuals.  I appreciate your guidance, your insight, and your time.
