laptop for university?

<< < (4/4)

Catfish_Man:
One recommendation (that probably applies to all manufacturers, but I know more about macs) is to not get any ram upgrades from the manufacturer. If you need more ram, high quality third party ram is dirt cheap these days, and easy to install or bribe a CS major into installing.

Also seconding the backup drive thing.

My personal machine, which I like very much, is a somewhat older bottom-of-the-line MacBook with a bunch of aftermarket upgrades.

clockworkjames:
My epeen is hueg for all the wrong reasons.

Allybee:
thanks for the input, everyone! I'll let you know what happens (leaning macbook cause it just seems to make sense).

Reed:
If it's not too late I'd like to throw out the HP dv2

It's a little expensive ($750), but for something not much bigger than a netbook you get a fairly significant increase in power.

Covetous:
Yeah, get an external disc for back up. I lost my masters exam work due to not doing proper back up. 2 hours before hand in. :(
