Okay, I didn’t read any of this thread but wanted to make a comment.

The only thing I NEED my laptop for @ college is email, word processing, and internet. Knowing what i know now, I would probably have NOT bought a laptop at all and build my own desktop–I highly recommend this–OR buy something very low end.

Why?

No one would want to jack your crappy laptop.

Even if some idiot decides to jack your laptop which is futile on their part, because cons outweight the pros, that is, risk of getting caught and charged with **theft/B vs the $ value of the laptop.

you’d be spending less time doing useless crap wasting time.

most of the time people overestimate what they need. Most people i know with super high end everything don’t even use it. And if you are a die hard gamer you’d know better than to be running anything a laptop anyways. Plus, its college, you should ALSO know better than to be playing video games all day.

**California **consolidated a variety of common law crimes into theft in 1927, and now distinguishes between two types of theft, grand theft and petty theft.[2] **Grand theft generally consists of the theft of something of value over $400/B,[3] while petty theft is the default category for all other thefts.[4] Grand theft is punishable by up to a year in jail or prison, and can either be seen as a misdemeanor or felony.[5] while petty theft is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine or six months in jail.[6]
