<p>So, as of now, I don't know a WHOLE lot about computers. I haven't taken any courses in school but this last semester I was part of a program that taught me a little computer science and now I'm very interested. In fact, I'm thinking about majoring in Computer Science. What laptop would you suggest for a computer science major? Also, consider that I'm still fairly new at this though. Thanks so much in advance!</p>
<p>This is what I bought online 2 weeks ago (recently arrived): [Image</a> - ■■■■■■■ - Free Image Hosting, Photo Sharing & Video Hosting](<a href=“http://■■■■■■■.com/r/34sowlx/7]Image”>http://■■■■■■■.com/r/34sowlx/7)</p>
<p>They took off one of the instant rebates that I used and upgraded a few things like the screen resolution, but there might still be a 30% off coupon floating around (which would’ve saved me more money had I used it): [HP</a> Pavilion dv6 and dv6t Quad Edition series | HP Official Store](<a href=“http://■■■■■■■.com/yzhnycg]HP”>http://■■■■■■■.com/yzhnycg)</p>
<p>Though I’m not majoring in computer science, HP wise, this fits my needs and taste. I love this laptop and would recommend it (i7 baby! x)). I don’t know too much about other brands, but I’m sure someone can shed some light on what they recommend. Just wanted to share so you know what a fellow incoming freshman has :)</p>
<p>Good luck finding the right laptop!</p>
<p>I’m also an incoming freshman (not majoring in computer science, but I am majoring in something in engineering) and I got a Lenovo thinkpad. When you ask what computer to get you will get a lot of answers because everyone has a favorite brand. So I won’t plug any specific brand. What I would recommend is to go with a brand that allows you to customize the build (Apple and Lenovo come to mind, though most probably allow this) so you can upgrade the RAM to 8 (or whatever the max is) and go for the faster processors than the store models. This is definitely worth it and will ensure your computer is powerful enough to handle the programs you’ll need to run. It will tack on additional cost so you’ll have to strike a balance. Good Luck!</p>
