<p>I am interested in computer science. How good is Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E545? And also Lenovo IdeaPad G505s? Will either of these work? If so which would be better? </p>
<p>If you can afford the Thinkpad T series go for that. My wife is an IT consultant and uses a T-420 (older) and it’s been flawless. My older daughter is an architecture major, also a T-420… There’s a difference in price and build quality between the T series and the others. Both laptops are on easily 12-14 hours a day for nearly 3 years…</p>
<p>The difference between the Thinkpad T or W lines and most of the other Lenovos is build quality. You can expect a T-series laptop to survive years of abuse. I just got myself a a T440p after my Acer got 30 lines of rainbow dead pixels across the screen and suddenly dropped to a 15 minute battery life.
Also, look for sales and student discounts. I got 35% off mine!</p>
