  Hii guys, im starting my poly this April and now im troubling on which laptop to get for my 3yrs of poly life.

  Im in Temasek Poly, Cyber and Digital Security course.

  Im not knowlegable about laptops so i hope you all can guide me. ;DDD

  Im hoping to get a laptop from the following basic criteria:

  1)Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz or above

  2)Screen of 14" or bigger

  3)4GB RAM

  4)200GB or above Hard Drive Capacity

  5)High quality graphics

  6) Weight of about 1.5kg

  Basically, im hoping to get a lightweighted laptop which gives minimal lag when playing online games like while opening other programmes at the same time.

  Not considering Acer because i heard that it has either 'few-months-lifespan' or a 'very-long-lifespan', and i dunwan to take the risk. =P

  Wish to get Mac laptops but they are very pricey.

  Hope some laptop professionals could provide me some guildlines on choosing the best laptop suitable for gaming and schoolwork. x33

  ^5 Thinkpads are great... Light, powerful and their "trackball" is way easier to use then touchpads. Not for gaming tho lol

  Asus, HP, Dell

  All the top end ones if you got no budget.

  By the way, why are you not getting from your school?
