So, I’m pretty experienced with the hardware of a computer, like the memory, hard drive, processor, etc.

But I’m pretty inexperienced with the act of buying a good laptop for an affordable price. Is there one manufacture that I should look out for? Or is there some student store I should go visit (I like in SoCal though, so I’m not 100% if there is one for Cal students here).

Any experience is fine, please don’t start a Mac vs. PC vs. Linux argument.

Thanks so much!
