Hi all!
I’m an incoming freshman who’ll be attending UIUC as engineering undeclared this upcoming year, and wondering what laptop to get for the next four years.
I’m looking do a Windows laptop that will be good for any major (seeing as I don’t have one yet), preferably under 800. The majors I’m interested in are CS, BioE, and SysE, so something that fits those would be nice.
I want one on the smaller, lighter side, since UIUC is pretty large. Touch screen/convertible is optional, but it would be nice to have. (My current laptop, a Toshiba Satellite Radius p55w is convertible)
Preferred brands: Dell (i have a $150 student discount), HP, Toshiba
These are the College of engineering requirements:
That your computer is less than 3 years old,
Has 4GB or more RAM (8GB+ recommended),
Has wireless capability (laptop), and
Can run Microsoft Office 2016
Thanks!
