My school hands out crappy $80 chromebooks, and they're starting to get on my nerves. I'm also a member of my school's robotics team (we do FRC) and the laptop we use is a garbo $100 laptop as well (2 gb ram AFAIK). I'm looking for something to replace both, preferably around $700-800. I won't be doing any heavy gaming on this; mostly just programming in Java. I might also do some light CAD work if we need to mill out any parts. I'll also be doing schoolwork (mostly just Google Docs) for around 6-7 hrs a day, so good battery life would be nice. I'm looking at the Acer S

I'm planning to buy a 500 GB SSD (upgrade from 256 GB because I'm running out of space), preferably under or close to $200. Any recommendations? I'm thinking about this one. Also, do M.2 SSDs provide a noticeable benefit over SATA SSDs? It's been a while, sorry

Friend needs laptop for studying
lolpwnd31 replied to lolpwnd31's topic in Laptops and Pre-Built Systems
EDIT: friend joked about Microsoft Word he might be using something like Blender at the very most -
His budget (I assume) is $500. The most he'll probably do is run programs like Blender/etc CGI stuffs on it. Is a generic, run-of-the-mill laptop fine? Or are there any specific models that are best? Sorry, I'm used to making desktops >_<

I like the useless surprises one

Just anything for novelty. No headphones, mice, etc. I'm already satisfied with my build Sorry for not listing what I have, I assumed that anything under $75 that went towards PC building wouldn't be that useful except for mice and keyboards and SSDs Here's my build (roughly, I'm sure I cut corners in some areas) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BNX3nn

I got an amazon gift card as a gift, what cool tech should I get? Like, for novelty? Something useless but cool to have on my desk?

Did it, these things are awesome I expected it to sound thin, but not at all. I tested it with a song I specifically knew was bass heavy and it blew me away. Some songs do sound a bit odd though. Most songs transferred fine but songs by Billain sound a little muffled. I'm probably just not used to the sound signature, the effect goes away if you listen to it for a minute or two like usual. It is a bit annoying though Otherwise, no regrets

Sennheiser HD 558s are going for $100 nearby me should I just bite the bullet

I looked at the sound demos for the ATH-M40X and the Sennheiser HD 558. The Sennheiser seemed more rich while the ATH-M40X sounded a bit more tinny. Is this because of the way he recorded the audio?
