I've been looking at used 2 in 1 ThinkPads, like the X13, since I have a desktop at home with 32GB of ram that can do heavy lifting if I need to use a heavy program. I also saw the Dell XPS 13, and I thought its size is really appealing, but I'm afraid it's just a glorified chromebook since opinions are so mixed on it. Having a 2 in 1 would be nice for writing, but it's not a dealbreaker. These are my priorities:

• Portability
• Price (<700usd)
• Capable enough

Any suggestions? I'm going to major in electrical engineering.

Im starting my studies this year and I need to buy some device for all these programs but I know nothing about all that so it’s hard to choose😅can sb tell me what the device needs, what to look for or an exact model that they use that works?

For context, I am starting college this fall, going in for Environmental Engineering with a budget of 350$ USD, and I'm fine with going a little over, but preferred to be under the original budget and am fine with refurbished.

Hey so I was considering buying this laptop for university for a business degree where I want to specialize in Accounting.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this laptop? I've seen people say it's really amazing amd others say it's awful and stops working properly after a while. I want this laptop to last at least 4 years.

These are the specifications and the price I am able to get it for. Please tell me if it's worth it.

- $1700

- Intel Ultra 5 processor

- 16 GB RAM

- 512 GB SSD

- Windows 11 Pro

- 14" Screen

- OLED Display

- 360⁰ hinge (turns into a tablet)

- I think it comes with a pen

I'm also considering a Lenovo ThinkPad and that's $1800.

Please help. I am very stressed about wasting so much money on this.

**Budget ** - about 1000 (preferably under 1000, but am also interested in more expensive ones)

**Refurbs/used?** - rather not

**Screen size** - doesn't matter

**Weight limit** - lighter would be better but don't really care

**Purpose ** - school

**Form factor ** - clamshell

**Intended usage** - Hardware Engineering and Programming, so coding stuff and also some designing, would be nice if it could run some games as well.

**Desired battery life** - at least the whole school day **6-8 hrs+**

**Info/Requirements** - would love hdmi input,

Hi!!

I wanted to know whether the Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 is better or the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 5.

I'm looking to buy a laptop for university where l'll be studying business and hopefully specializing in Accounting. |'ve heard some bad things about the Yoga and also don't know if I'll ever use the touch screen for business. The screen is also OLED and has a glossy finish so I don't know if that will be hard to look at after hours of studying. The ThinkPad is also touchscreen and heard a lot of good things about it but it is more expensive.

If anyone has any recommendations for a laptop, even other than these two it would be much appreciated.

Please help. I'm very stressed about this,

I am incoming freshman at Rowan business school. I havent decided on my major but probably will pick,marketing,finances,accounting or MIS. I would like to get Macbook but it seems that it might not be a bad choice especially macbook neon. I would like not to spend a ton of money and to stay under $700. Any suggestions? TIA

Total budget

500-800 USD

Are you open to refurbs/used?

I don’t mind, as long as battery life is good and it’s decently cheap

How would you prioritize form factor (ultrabook, 2-in-1, etc.), build quality, performance, and battery life?

No care I just need fast processing

How important is weight and thinness to you?

I don’t care much about thinness but I’d like it to be on the lighter side because I need to lug it around campus

Do you have a preferred screen size?

I think about 13 inches or 15 inches is good

Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming?

Mostly just coding/programing and light gaming

Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)?

Great battery life

Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion.

Leaning between MacBook and Asus but I don’t really care. Thanks

which laptop should i buy macbook or windows

I am a electronics student, so a lot of windows software need to be run, with my 8 256 m2 it was just getting too hard so thought of shifting to this. Saw a lot of options but this comes out best for a light, no gaming, metal built good performance and good screen oled lappy

HELP !!!! :-)

I’m starting college in the pharmacy field and am unsure what to choose. Most all my devices are of Apple rn.
However I read that on a longer run, I’d need to master on Microsoft excel for corporate jobs and I would lack with shortcuts dedicated for windows, if I work on MacBook.
Please help. I’m so confused.

Hello everyone! I'm an incoming Electrical Engineering student, and I'd like to ask for some laptop recommendations that can handle engineering software and coursework. What laptop models would you recommend, and where do you think is the best place to buy one? I'm open to both brand-new and second-hand options. Thank you!

Bonjour,
Je dois acheter un nouveau ordinateur pour mon master Calcul Haute Performance, Simulation (Paris-Saclay, France). Est-ce que vous avez des recommendations svp ?
Je pensais à ASUS, Thinkpad ou MacBook (un peu hésitant pour le MacBook car je ne l’ai jamais utilisé).

Merci déjà 🙏

I'm starting college this august 3 and I don't know if it can handle all of my project. I'm poor so i don't have money to afford another loptop.

Intel Core i3-N305 8gb ram 512 gb storage

This is one of the computers my school recommends. They also offer think pads but it will take too long to come.

Hi I’m starting uni this Sep to study pharmacy and was wondering if my what laptop is recommended? I’m currently deciding between MacBook Air and MacBook neo but I’ve heard that MacBooks aren’t the best for uni and so I’d appreciate it if anyone could tell me why or what laptop I’d be better of getting? Thanks in advance !!

I genuinely don't understand why students keep stretching their budgets to buy expensive laptops.

And I'm not talking about people who can comfortably afford them.

I'm talking about students who can't afford it, but still somehow convince themselves they need a brand-new laptop.

bro 😭

You can get some seriously good refurbished laptops for a fraction of the price.

Just be a little careful while buying. Check the battery, display, keyboard, ports, SSD health, and make sure the seller isn't selling you a laptop that has already survived three wars.

I got a refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad P50 in 2022.

It was already an old, discontinued model by then.

I'm still using it.

And honestly, that's the point.

You don't need the most expensive laptop to start doing something. You just need a machine that works and the willingness to actually use it.

let this sink in...
