[ComputerScience911]

Hello LTT Forums i am currently a grade 12 student and am going to university next year to study Computer Science i was thinking either buy a beast laptop which i do all my studies and work on or buy a combo of beast pc and shitty laptop which i take notes on during classes. Now my budget for either is about $2,000 give or take $200 . I would like you guys to tell me which is the better option and with your choice tell me which laptop u suggest or which pc parts you suggest. 

Thanks for all!!!!!

I'd go for a 1500$ pc and a 500-700$ laptop perhaps an ultrabook like the ux305

I'm just going to say, the laptop you get, get it light, you'll appreciate it after you carry the laptop on you back for the whole day. other than that, I agree with 1500 pc + 500 laptop

the shitty ultrabook i am getting is about 200$ i will be using it only to type and browse web on the go and also suggest pc specs

pay £1000 on each. you will have a generally beast set of tech either way.

an 200$ ultrabook won't really cover your needs imo.

I would buy a more expensive laptop personally though because I could always rely on it to work if problems arise on the desktop. Also meaning that if you dont have a desktop to use, then at least you can always take notes in class.

No problem. Did you say you wanted to buy a built desktop or build it yourself?

I would say build ur desktop because it is cheaper. Then you can spend more on your laptop.

BTW, Im not sure if im the best person to be talking to here. You are older than me. I do know my stuff when it comes to ICT though.

Hello!

Congrats on your last year of high school!  I would recommend you a get a very cheap laptop and around a $1600 dollar desktop. I would recommend a small netbook with a external storage that is around 400 dollars . For you pc I would recommend this is you spend the $1600 dollars on this http://pcpartpicker.com/guide/wQBD4D/college-computer-build . You could get any peripherals you want. Thanks!

BTW : If you notice how many posts I have it is because I started a new account because my other one got hacked when the servers went down.  But I do know what im talking about on this.
