labtop for school

[mizzousoccerfan]

I need a labtop for the start of college next year. It will be used for writing papers and using PowerPoint and other word programs. I have $700 to spend and dont no much on labtops. Can someone suggest a good labtop for my needs

EMAGARD...LABTOP..... :blink:

 

All jokes aside Microsoft's surface pro 2 or 3 is a good choice , if only you plan it for powerpoint use only, it's light weight & powerful & easy to handle & fast compared to traditional labtops, Plus it comes with a fully licensed windows & word & powerpoint apps, 

 

Again , only reccomended if you're planning for Light use , dont expect it to run games at highest settings or watch a 4k or high bitrate 1080p movie fluidly. it's also surprisingly secure , handy & lightweight compared to laptops.

 

I suggest you go for a test run on local stores before confirming a buy & make yourself at ease. or go with an ultrabook from any company under that price range.

I'd go with an HP Pavillion G7 If I was you, that's what I did last year and it's been great, here's a model with a better CPU than I've got:

I was playing around with this laptop in BestBuy and it felt really solid. I suggested it to my dad.

i agree with @Doopywoopy, that one is good, but has a 1366x768 display. this one has a slightly worse cpu, but it has a 1080p display.

Never get a 1366x768. Its painful on the eyes. After working on an essay for a while, my eyes would go crazy

What'd you end up going with?
