They had a super nice one for 1,150 at best buy. I've never used windows 8, is it similar to 7?

Its fucking BS how fast things progress though. A year from now some new shit will be out, and whatever I buy will be outdated. Technology one vicious and expensive bitch ain't she?

Check out Lenovo's stuff too. They make the Thinkpad line that IBM used to make.

I just looked online its actually $50 more expensive online, because it was on christmas sale at BB. I'm looking at the Samsung ATIV Book 8. I'd post a link but I'm on my phone and I don't know how to copy and paste deeerp.

My Dads set on Samsung and he's buying so I'm not going to argue

Asus is a better buy as far as durability. All in All they are all pretty much the same.

I just looked a little, that one does seem to be pretty hard to find for cheap, I only checked newegg, ebay, & amazon though.

I see plenty of othe ativ series pc's though for some reason.

but that looks like a pretty nice pc though, both specs wise & looks-wise.

I'd snag one up if it's the one you want.

there's the link for anyone interested.

I just got this, http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/y-series/y410p/ , at the beginning of my semester. I am really happy with it. and compare the specs of this laptop to any one, this one will win on price (expect for maybe weight and its a 5400 rpm hdd). Dont do samsung, they are very meh. and definitely do NOT get alienware, those are  completely overpriced pieces of shit.

I hated my my toshiba, it kept fucking up on me and I would have to send it in, wait tfor them to "fix" it, get it back, realize it was still not right, send it back, etc... and this continued until I just gave up.

My dell had a few problems too, but they actually sent a technician out to my house to fix it, and it was always in a timely manner.

asus is definitely better than toshiba overall. while dell sucks and is over priced and filled with bloatware, the company does do a good job with customer services.

I got mine for a good price because I got a student discount, it was well under the price for anything else with it's specs at the time.


BTW OP, did you check out if your school has any discount programs for laptops?

You want something thin and light to use as a student for general use, not gaming or anything?

Macbook Air hands down.  Fantastic machines, they get 13 hours of battery life and weigh under 3 pounds.

Do not get windows 8 for the love of god, unless you're getting something with a touch pad.

Unless you enjoy not booting to desktop

http://www.howtogeek.com/145984/ ;  Pretty much sums up why windows 8 is not useful. 8 is well made but it's designed for a fucking tablet user.

As to the hardware, anything with a brand is going to cost more money. I would personally buy an Acer if I didn't have unlimited funds.

Windows 8 is actually pretty nice once you get used to it, granted it is better with a touch screen.

The pc he is planning on getting has a touch screen, if I remember correctly.

I got so fed up with windows 8 that I just uninstalled it from my computer and installed ubuntu.  I'm done with ever having to have to deal with Microsofts shit.
