Recommend some.. Are they worth it? Will they last 4 years? Buy it online or at a store?
I don't want my parents to pay for a top laptop especially since they're paying most of what is my Emory tuition. So, basically, I'm going to try to wait until early August to purchase a back-to-school budget notebook. Pretty much all my friends recommend the macs, but they're way too expensive. I'm thinking a laptop under 700$ is best, but if an $800 one can last me 4 years, I'm all for it.
I'm neither going into engineering nor a hardcore PC gamer, so I don't need one that's equipped with top video cards. However, I'd like the fastest internet chip (I heard the N is faster than G on campus), at least 2Gigs of RAM, fast processor, and a webcam. I don't really care how heavy it is, but hopefully not too backbreaking.
Any brands or suggestions would be cool
