You know what to do g/u/rls. Going into a comp sci course, and my laptop is a 17.5" beast. Lugging it to class every day would mega suck. So I need a smoller laptop. Furrack Chromebooks. What are the best bang for your buck smol laptops out there now? What do you g/u/rls use?

Couldn't you just bring your 17.5" laptop, but bring binoculars with you and view your laptop through the opposite of the binoculars?

thinkpad, any x series model. they are also great for linux compatibility, in case your course ever requires it at some point.

Thinkpad x230t is what I used for classes. $200 off eBay, and really good specs.

I can't really think of another company that matches their hardware and software build quality for the price.
If you have the funds, System76 and Purism have some pretty good machines.

I hate laptops because I have a (older and actually good) MacBook, but finding another laptop with a Comparable screen, with an SSD, and dedicated gpu ends up costing about the same as a new MacBook

>>592812 no, it's just rather specific, how many laptops actually have HiDPI displays, and a surprising amount don't seem to list a dedicated gpu...
For example a Razer blade 15" with a 4k screen costs $2899.99 and a new MacBook pro costs $2799.99 for the nice 15"
It's just what I want is not super common and pricing gets wonky when you get there like I have to upgrade the gpu to a "2070 max-q" to be able to pick the 4k screen

I'll admit I haven't really looked that hard so it's totally possible I'm missing something, but with a teacher discount MacBooks are actually pretty alright price wise. Happy to admit the Razer has a much better gpu though
