Laptop for Uni
I am attending University in September and I will be taking Computer Science so I will need quite a good laptop, it has to have a good processor, good memory and decent price. Just something that can handle everyday Uni life

Any recommendations?

Acer extensor 5235

Define "good processor", "decent price" and "everyday uni life" :tongue:

. Like, how much are you willing to spend on a laptop and what exactly are you gonna use it for (games, movies, internet, essays, programming? etc.)

Actually recommended one to someone else earlier: this Acer Aspire should fit the bill. Its only £350, has 12GB RAM and a 1TB hard drive. It won't be the best for mid/high-end games, but should be able to run somethings well enough. For the price, you're not really going to find a gaming laptop though... basic gaming laptops start in the £600 bracket :tongue:

Hi!!
I am an architecture student and need to buy a new laptop soon. I work on softwares like CAD, Photoshop and also do 3D modelling and rendering.
Can you please suggest me which one to buy? As in what brand to go for? I can't afford a MAC book though. :frown:

You will need something with a decent amount of graphical processing power, you might want to look into gaming laptops.

I am not too experienced with laptops but, the HP one has a faster graphics processor than the other 3 but has an increased price tag.

The other 3 are around the same performance wise. So choose your budget then choose from the fitting category.

I must warn you, to get PC like performance from a laptop you will have to spend a lot more than that. But the choices you have made will perform significantly better than a normal laptop.

Hope i have been of help.
