<p>i'm in the LSM program.. what advice would you have for buying a laptop? i am familiar with both apple and windows</p>
<p>After working at Intel for the summer, I bought a nice little Acer that was on sale and it works really well. Not many people have heard of the brand, but it's the #1 brand in Europe so I figure I can't go wrong.</p>
<p>Buy your labtops at the end of the school year, around April - Junish, or sometime aroudn there, cuz they have pretty good discounts and sales on labtops for college boudn students.</p>
