I'm going to get a new laptop for college, and I am looking for some advice. I already talked to some professors and people at the university and they didn't list any specific requirements for the laptop.
Here are some things to consider:
- I'm going into computer science (I'm not completely sure how this would affect my laptop decision...but maybe you would know)
- I'd like to be able to have 5 windows open, including a browser window with 20 tabs, at least one of which is a YouTube video playing
- The laptop does not need to handle high-end 3-D games
- I'll likely use some distribution of Linux, but there is a chance I will use Windows 7
- ~$1000 is the maximum I would want to pay
Sorry if I left any important information out.
