Few More Details:
The laptop has to have i7 or atleast i5, 3rd gen goes without saying.
The sound quality and the screen MUST BE AWESOME.
I would love to have a possibility for overclocking , though I probably won't do it, but it is good to know that I can.
The laptop should be portable, because i will be carrying it around a lot, so Ultrabook or "sleekbook" probably?
A physical laptop lock feature would be appreciated.
I would do a lot of Multitasking too.
I can go for a Mac if it can run Windows properly.
I think this should cover everything. And is there anywhere which provides special student discounts and offers?
PS: Should i wait a little bit longer because new models are coming at an alarming rate?
Thanks!
