It doesn't matter. Search Newegg, filter by processor, look for sales.

Ideapad 300.

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

whoa buddy whipping out the big guns there for only a $500 budget
>>55086279
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
idk other laptops for $500 tho, not too good with those

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.
FACING AUTISMO
>>55086282
>because they use the u variants of the cpus
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.

Need something portable
>>55086354
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

Literally buy anything. You don't want a gaming laptop for college unless you're doing gender studies
