Universityfag here.

Going to need a laptop for my courses. Any /g/ approved Windows laptops or does Windows automatically disqualify it?

Needs Windows to be able to handle Word and Photoshop. Preferably 1080p display. Gaming doesn't matter.

Get a MacBook Pro.

I got a Lenovo Edge 2.

Definitely get a Mac. You can dual boot Windows if needed.

MacBook Air

I would say Lenovo Yoga 900s, but I'm not sure it'll handle Photoshop well enough for your needs.

>>55158332
Hate to say it but sounds like you're a macfag. If you can't afford one you'll probably just kill yourself, which is good because that's what you should do anyway.

>>55158402
Okay, this is bait, but I'll bite. Why would I get a Mac specifically for Windows? Most of the cost comes not from not components, but the "Apple tax" for "R&D".
>>
>>55158332
Are you planning on being any kind of developer other than a Windows application developer? If so get a Mac

Otherwise buy whatever you can get for 800-1000. Any cheaper and you're probably buying something is or will soon be outdated, any more is a waste without a specific reason to

Bootcamp on a Mac for the times you need windows.
Or use Fusion and get a Windows and a Linux VM, depending on the software needed for classes.

You pay a Microsoft tax for the OEM that had to license your copy of Windows.

MacBooks are the best Windows laptop.

It's simple OP, are you a faggot? If yes, get a macbook, if not, get anything else.

I too hate computers with excellent usability, build quality, value, and aesthetics.
Fuck Apple!

Jesus fuck all these people recommending Macs makes me want to vomit. Just buy a used Thinkpad and be happy. You won't regret it. If you want a newer laptop with similar build to a Mac, get a zenbook or xps 13. Discussion over

If you want something cheap, Thinkpad T440s came with 1080p. Or you could do what I did and get a T440 and swap a 1080p screen from a T440s into it.

Just because you're too retarded to figure out how normal computers work doesn't mean everyone else is.
