Laptop Suggestion?

Hi, I'm going to go to school in NYC, and I don't have a laptop, I know my needs might be different from others but I would appreciate some suggestions. I will not be working outside of campus for the first year whatsoever and my budget is around ~$3000. I use Windows 10 currently on my own computer and use Excel and some research software. I was recommended getting a M1 MacBook Air because it is very light and has good battery life, but the problem I have with it is the display refresh rate. I was thinking about Lenovo but the X1 Extreme with the good refresh rate starts at nearly $2400 when their Legion Slim starts at $1300 with a much better display.
