I agree completely w/ jrcsmom’s posts. S does his high-level computing on the school-provided machines which have everything loaded that they need.

Again, also noting as stated in many other threads & posts on this same subject: some professors will not allow laptops in classrooms…and also consider the portability when choosing a laptop (weight + size). There is probably not one machine that has it all: gaming reqs, big screen, low weight, easy portability, length of useful life, ease of use, inexpensive…so you need to either compromise or have 2 (or more!) pieces of equipment. (I love the comment that gamers will know exactly what they need - too right!)
