Afternoon all,
I hope to be stating university in September, and I need a laptop. I emailed the course tutor for details on specs and this is what I got:
-Windows or a Mac that can dual boot
-512GB SSD hard drive
-No less than 4GB memory
-At least 2 USB ports, 3 would be preferable
- something mildly portable, namely not a 17" gaming laptop
-something with a VGA port, or a dongle that converts MiniDV into VGA
He also says "Buy as much laptop as money can buy"
It all sounds very expensive.
I know next to nothing about laptops or computer setups, so I'm being thrown straight in the deep end a bit.
Can anyone provide me with some advice as to a good laptop with all the necessary specs? Maybe who are good manufactures in the respective fields and what names should be steered clear of at all costs?
Cheers.
Sam
