Laptop for school

Hi guys! I am looking for a laptop for uni for basic work, research and some netflix or youtube. I am kind of on a budget, and I have been looking at either a Lenovo Flex 5 (because I think that a touchscreen might be useful) or a MacBook Neo, since I have heard that it’s best for the budget. I don’t understand much about the parts of computers and I can’t decide, so could you guys please help me 🙏
