The Best College Laptops!

With the holidays arriving, we pulled this Tekzilla clip from a couple weeks ago, so you can hit refresh on that shopping list!
When it comes to buying a laptop, there are a ton of options out there. You'll want decent specs, features, and something that fits your budget. Here are some of our recent pics from Acer, Lenovo and Dell, along with a quick nod to Chromebooks for anybody looking to keep the cost down around $200!

Followup on the question, : ended up getting a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series for just under $900. It's 720p, touchscreen, 8 GB of RAM, and i7. Still breaking it in, but it's great.

[@Novashadow115]

Good choice

[@ItzTecz]

***** i7 gh?

[@Novashadow115]

Yep

[@jgj4430]

although u might yell @ me b/c it was bought from Costco w/ 3 year SquareTrade warranty.

[@ItzTecz]

How much gigahertz is your i7?

Have a Yoga 2 Pro for college that runs software like MATLAB, Adobe suite and Solid Works well. Not perfect at all (solid works can be slow when you do heavy stuff), but good. I would definitely recommend building (or buying i guess) a PC in the $500 range for your dorm/apartment and a something like the HP Stream for class. I have found that I end up doing most of my work at home in in the computer labs on campus anyways so having a portable PC with capabilities is less important. Your situation could very though. A $500 PC should be able to smoke the Yoga 2 and most other laptops. If you must go with a laptop then the Yoga 2 is a great option.

The undead corpse of Tekzilla marches on. I wish they would just stop and let it die instead of getting my hopes up. I'm sure they will deliver a one two combo and kill Hak5 next. All while garbage like SourceFed keeps going. At least Revision 3 hasn't gone all BuzzFeed on me with a whole show dedicated to catchy titles with no real content... like 5 Holiday DIY Gift Ideas or 6 Extremely Strange Wedding Traditions... glad they haven't done that yet... well Anyhoo

the new toshiba chromebook 2 went on sale for $279, not bad for 1080p 13" display, fanless intel cpu, 4gb ram, ssd, and the 100gb of google drive for 2 years

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

I wonder how hard it would be to totally tear apart a Chromebook and Frankenstein it into a monster?

[@ambassadorofpain1]

"CS major wants Windows laptop" Linux or gtfo.

[@JJBTEXAS494]

probably plans to dual boot and doesn't want a mac... Yes you can by linux PCs but finding one as a black friday deal is slim

[@ambassadorofpain1]

John Brennan Well having a Mac would be better than Windows, at least you get Unix, but this guy specifies Windows.

[@JJBTEXAS494]

True, I guess it depends on the school. I'm pretty sure my school focuses on Linux and Windows.

[@jgj4430]

The Aftermath I have used Linux before. I have used Windows since childhood. I am interested in VM's,but I am not sure if the resources are taken up on my laptop or are they virtual.

[@mikesanchez3508]

[@redshirt256]

[@CindyC71]

Omg Patrick i just found this channel, i used to have the biggest crush on you when you co-hosted the Screen Savers on the old Tech TV! Had no idea about this channel! Woot *subscribed*

[@PimpTwzt]

Oh Cindy... Im sorry to tell you. They just canceled this show so won't be seeing much of Patrick from now on. There is of course the years of shows already shot.

[@CindyC71]

PimpTwzt Oh sh*t, figures, thanks, didn't realize that lol *unsubscribes*

[@PimpTwzt]

Their last full episode they announced it at the end that that was the last episode. Discovery cancelled them. You can tell it was coming the way shows and hosts have been disappearing like crazy the past few months. Its very sad.
