Roblox and Minecraft comes to mind, but I don’t expect to use high performance games on the laptop.

Looking for a laptop for school (undergrad in STEM) with a side of a little gaming (mentioned above).
Would prefer a windows layout and interface, I tried a MacBook Neo and I could not for the life of me get used to using it.
Would like the laptop to last atleast 4 years.
Would like atleast 512 gb ssd.
I often have alot of tabs open (10-20) so atleast 16gb ram.
Prefer if the laptop does not get too hot (good ventilation).
Thank you!
