So I recently went back to school and I'm needing a laptop. I've got a fairly new desktop build but I need a laptop for upstairs to work on since my desktop is downstairs in my man cave. My wife has a 17 inch toshiba satellite laptop but it's honest very cumbersome in size. Ive been looking at 15.6 inch ultrabooks. For performance and size that's what I'm needing. Honestly I'd like to stay under 5 pounds but also I don't want to spend 1000 dollars. Is this feasible? Most of my classes are online so when i use my ipad it won't display most of the material and non of my ebooks.
Also at that price should I just buy a surface tablet? Let me know what you guys think and your recommendations for an ultrabook.
Sure it is feasible but not really for the ultra books I can advise 15 inch laptops with fhd screen bellow 5 pounds though. If you're are only going to read and really want to save money. The HP stream is coming and it will be really really cheap.
I'm doing gen ed right now. Commonly used programs are anything with Microsoft office and a lot of online work on Pearson.com. I will be goin into computer science or maybe a computer information technology program. No sure yet so all my electives right now will be computer classes and at sometime a programming language class.. If it requires a lot of processing power I can do it on my desktop which I'm confident it can handle the workload. I'm really going for portability. The wife's 17 inch toshiba weighs almost 7 pounds and to me it's very heavy. I've used Netbooks before and a 10 inch screen is too small for me. That's why I stated the 15 inch screen.
