what 2013 laptop should I buy for college?

Question

So Im going to UC Merced and I am looking for a laptop to do school work, play some games yet be portable enough to not be a burden around campus. money is not really a problem. Im not really a mac user. I don't care if it has touch screen or not. decent battery life. recent release.

was looking at the Lenovo y500 but im not sure if it is too heavy for constant travel or if the battery is too small for consistent use through out the day.

Any help will be appreciated

Answer 1

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon this laptop doesn't just look great, it feels great too. ThinkPads laptops are known for being very reliable and durable and the X1 Carbon is no exception. This is certainly the best ultrabook laptop in the market. It is so elegant, pretty, and sturdy. My laptop came with Intel Core i5, 4GB of ram and 256GB HD which is super-fast for day to day tasks.

Answer 2

Take a look at the Lenovo thinkpad x1 carbon , it is pricey but belive me it is worth it . its made from carbon fiber and ultra light . you can take that laptop and throw it and it is so light it would never land it would just stay flying . And they are built realy well and reliable so it wont break and will work for years to come . Plus its realy powerfull and wont dissapoint . Plus the screen opens to a 180 angle witch i like . Its is a new release
