just don't get a mac u cuck


surfacebook and dell xps 13 are pretty expensive


not really sure, i think chromebooks might start to become more popular in the next year

>>55086173
It's actually a rule, dumbass. Did you even read the sticky?

>>55086260
I'm staying away from ultra books because they use the u variants of the cpus which are only dual core, and chrome books are great but I want something more versatile

Wow, look at all of the threads that are violating that.

Get a macbook pro so you don't get laughed at

>>55086297
Yeah, I don't really expect to be able to find much but I figured I'd ask before spending 1000 dollaroos

>>55086312
Underpowered overpriced crap

>>55086282
u might have to go to $700-$800 budget,

yea i didn't like the dell xps 13 that much


i am pretty intrigued by all the positive reviews surrounding the chromebooks

i might actually try one out next year

this is exactly what is wrong with society

>>55086161
Get a desktop

The build quality is way better.

>>55086325
I have used a chrome book (hp) and it seems good for Google docs and general browsing but not so much for programming

>>55086224
Pick a new laptop. NOT my new laptop.

You want a laptop that's as capable as a desktop for less than the desktop would cost.

I hope that you actually learn a little common sense in college.

Order a Acer Laptop Aspire E 15 E5-574G-54Y2 and don't break it.

No one should be using a dual core in 2016. Even phones are being 4-10 core

Thinkpad T420

>>55086379
Dumbass phones are 4 cores but they come overclocked at 8 or if you have pocket they come at 10

>>55086397
what is your opinion on the T420 vs the T440?

lol wut

>>55086399
I overclocked my ram and now I have 32 gigglebits instead of 4
