Going to start college in august. Was wondering what laptop I should buy. I'll be using it regularly for school, web browsing, and listening to music. I plan on using it with a fiio e10k for my headphones. (Don't know if I needed to add that)
Budget?

Willing to spend like $1000 but would be cool if there were a decent one around $500
Get a thinkpad
T420 for regular size
T520 if you want a bigger one
or a X220 for smaller size

Yeah, no.
xx20 is Sandy Bridge, which never had good UEFI support, can't use an SSD as a cache, and can't use an SSD for rapid boot. Plus the GPU is not supported on Windows 10.
xx30 or later is pretty-much mandatory, and if you're still using a xx20, you're either poor or a keyboard hipster.
