<p>What kind of laptop is good for an engineer major at UCI ? The mac is probably too expensive for me. I have a Sony Vaio right now but it has really low battery life.</p>
<p>i have an hp dv series i like it a lot.
battery life is good, i think 4 hours. i had a vaio before that it was only 2 hours.</p>
<p>the exact model is HP Pavilion Dv7-3165dx .</p>
<p>any pc works, if you want battery life then go for one of those acer timelines. otherwise, hp dell toshiba asus sony lenovo all work… just look at reviews of certain computers and see what the battery life is from there.</p>
<p>dont trust the product description for the battery life, they always over-estimate it. look at the reviews like junshik said.</p>
