Laptop help

[Brettyboo]

I'm heading off to college in August, and I need help. I need some help finding the most well rounded laptop for my college work. Something reasonably light and a good battery are my main priorities. I don't have a huge budget, but I would prefer something between $500-$800max.

Razers are great

Budget?

If you have the money i would get the lg gram, great batterylife and quite snappy

Razer blade stealth are good laptops on the cheaper end of razors spectrum, LG gram as mentioned is a definite contender.

 

Depends on budget though.

Thinkpad T430, or T530 with an extended battery. Both of these computers can be configured with either i7-3840QM's or i7-3940XM's with a max of 16gb ram. Both can utilize 3 storage drives, one being mSATA which is SATA2.

 

Best build quality & performance for that price range IMO and you can make a pretty beast edition of either for under $600. That's with either of those CPU's, 16gb of ram plus some SSD's!! You won't see any performance increase past 10% with anything below 8th gen...even most of those are marginal performance increases.

There are many options out there. Could you provide more details like display size, max preferred weight, hardware requirements etc

Display size isn't a big priority, but I need something that can fit in my back pack. Weight isn't a priority either, but I don't want to struggle while pulling it out repeatedly. And I just need it to be relatively fast and have at least a terabyte of storage.
