general

i have a dell inspiron, but its massive

yeah, small would be preferable since I am going to need to carry that shit around

if you can use google docs, i'd suggest a chrome book

Meh, I have used chrome books before

Unless I have only used shit ones, they are not that good

just don't get a mac

obviously

I may be incompetent with computers

but I am not stupid

you might need to do some coding, so a decent processor is a good idea

and RAM

I doubt I will need to do any coding

and I am going to have a home computer that will be for gaming I can use if I ever need to do something intesive

Jesus christ, all of these "top computers for students" pages I am looking at are computers full of bullshit I doubt anyone needs, let alone me

links?

already closed them

i could tell you what the bs is for

Who the fuck needs 256 Gb of storage

what the fuck are you downloading to a school laptop that requires that

i have 1Tb on my laptop

pron

and programmers need a lot of massive software

Fair point

useless for me though

in the research i do, 1 data set can be multiple terabytes

that is 1/4th of my gaming laptop, full of games, and I still have only used about 3/4th of my laptop with 100 games downloaded

Gdi I am not speading 1.5k on a fucking school laptop, stop recommending them to me websites

maybe a microsoft surface?

Man, for someone who is 18, looking at computer shit makes me feel like an old man

I should look at 2014/2015 laptops, I imagine they are cheaper

yeah I would go with older laptops

unless you want a touch screen

Again

old man

wich is supprisingly useful

when you have papers on your keyboard

When you said that

I outloud said "what happened to laptops being economical, but also practical, who needs that fluff"

I swear I am a 70 year old in a young mans body

I do not think I could physically handle a touchscreen

Preferably something less than 500

I can technically go as high as needed, but I think anything above that is a waste

ok then i'll find a you a good $2k laptop

lol

does your college like sell any laptops?

idk

mine does

I will go look

Knowing my university

prob overpriced

actually they probably have student discounts

i got my ipad mini 4 cheaper

^what I was talking about

first thing I see is a 2.8k laptop

Very reasuring

Nope

Cheapest laptop they are offering is 1.7k

I can't get this page to load

I cannot get it to load fully

same

Oh yeah

welcome to my life

for a science and engineering school, seems no one knows how to make a fucking website

every website I have seen, other than the main university page, is shitty

poorly formated

and almost entirely worthless

get rob to make new ones

Kappa

I assume the main page is only good because they paid a proffesional company to do it

he did used to do that right?

my school's equivalent

Not even fully loaded yet, and it already is 100x better than the UoW one

apparently we only sell dell computers and apple

Seriously though

rip linux

All of these computers keep advertising 500Gb, or 16Gb of ram

bipen you can load linux on any hardware

can I not just find a solid computer that will last me 4 years and cost little
