Re: Need a laptop for school [#permalink]
I would try to find laptops that fit your criteria, even if they might be above you price range. Then you can check sites like TechRadar which usually show good deals for various tech items around the web for each month. I would also recommend checking out Amazon Prime prices because they offer some really nice warranties sometimes.

Re: Need a laptop for school [#permalink]
Please do not buy a Dell computer. I purchased the XPS 13 6 months ago and it has crashed 3 times already. Each time I had to
reinstall the operating system, thereby deleting everything stored on my laptop - files, pictures -everything. I would have lost
it all if I did not have cloud storage. Technicians could not help me retrive backup files from the hard drive.
To make matters worse, they asked me to pay more money above the basic warranty which I had already paid for to "fix" the issue, which
they could not do successfully. The first time it happened I was told it was a one-off event. That was a blatant falsehood. This is
the third time this has happened. I spent countless hours on the phone over several days, wasting so much time trying an
inordinate number of steps to no avail. Dell refused to give me a refund, replacement or exchange despite my "premium"
warranty. To add insult to injury, they claimed they would send someone over to fix it in 2-3 days! Being
that technicians don't work on the weekend and they have no emergency response. For a business school student, one cannot afford
to have no laptop for 3 days. Please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for a laptop.
Buying a Dell laptop is like throwing your money away or gouging out your eyes for no good reason. Complete torture. The warranties they offer
are pointless and do not protect customers. You will regret buying a Dell laptop. If you value your sanity, health and well-being, just
don't do it. Their consumer laptops do not work as advertised, fail unexpectedly and customer service is extremely unhelpful.

Can’t go wrong with Lenovo E550. On Newegg right around 600. Super powerful and no bloatware. That’s what I bought for my MBA.

It is based on your domain. If yours is tech/programming, go for Mac. Otherwise, just buy a notebook like envy 13 or zenbook 13 for normal tasks.

I absolutely agree with you. I have had terrible experiences with my Dell laptop. High-end line, sluggish, and too many daily update from DELL. Awful!!!

I use DELL XPS 13 for my studies. So far I am very satisfied.
If you're looking for one of the most refined and revitalised laptops on the market, look no further than the impressive Dell XPS 13, which we consider the money-no-object best student laptop going today.

When it comes to performance you won’t be left wanting, thanks to its super slick 8th-generation Intel Core i5 – i7 CPU, while you can game lightly with the Intel UHD Graphics 620 graphics card.
