<p>Okay, I didn’t read any of this thread but wanted to make a comment.</p>
<p>The only thing I NEED my laptop for @ college is email, word processing, and internet. Knowing what i know now, I would probably have NOT bought a laptop at all and build my own desktop–I highly recommend this–OR buy something very low end. </p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>No one would want to jack your crappy laptop.</p>
<p>Even if some idiot decides to jack your laptop which is futile on their part, because cons outweight the pros, that is, risk of getting caught and charged with **theft<a href=“see%20below%20reference”>/B</a> vs the $ value of the laptop.</p>
<p>you’d be spending less time doing useless crap wasting time.</p>
<p>most of the time people overestimate what they need. Most people i know with super high end everything don’t even use it. And if you are a die hard gamer you’d know better than to be running anything a laptop anyways. Plus, its college, you should ALSO know better than to be playing video games all day.</p>
<p>**California **consolidated a variety of common law crimes into theft in 1927, and now distinguishes between two types of theft, grand theft and petty theft.[2] **Grand theft generally consists of the theft of something of value over $400<a href=“it%20can%20be%20money,%20labor%20or%20property”>/B</a>,[3] while petty theft is the default category for all other thefts.[4] Grand theft is punishable by up to a year in jail or prison, and can either be seen as a misdemeanor or felony.[5] while petty theft is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine or six months in jail.[6] </p>
