Should've asked to specify why

You're only going to be doing notes, internet, maybe music and similar shit.
there's no need for an overpriced toy
just about any cheapish laptop with ubuntu or windows will work

just get a mac.

This makes me hate doctors even more. In ancient Greece and Rome alot of doctors were slaves. I hope we bring back slavery for doctors.

why not real science instead of medicine?

I've done real science, but I enjoy the environment of the ER.

Dear user,

Use a pencil to write on your printed powerpoints. You retain information better, the pencil is quicker, more versatile, cheaper and a proven instrument that withstand the erosion of time.

Sincerely,

Another user

Dear user,

there is something like 120 slides per lecture. I do not think I can realistically do that, nobody else had notes.

I've handwritten notes my entire undergrad

With love,

user.

>surface pro
surface pro is great user.

Dear user,

Write on the slides during lecture, and rearrange, outside of class time, all content in a logical matter that makes sense to you, in handwritten or digital form, because university teachers are shit pedagogues.

Sincerely,

Same user

Greeting user,

This is why I was inquiring about the surface pro because I do like to write my notes

Thank you,

user.

Dear user,

I am happy to hear from you again. Do you plan on memorizing enormous amounts of text using a screen?

For med school go for surface pro

>Whats Jow Forums's thoughts?
You are the reason why there are anti-medicine people

if gaming is a priority, get windows.
if productivity is a priority, get mac.
if poor, get windows.
this is the undeniable truth.

t. cs major at top 10 uni where everyone uses macs

Hey user,

I plan on using Anki.


Why is productivity higher on a mac?

Surface Pro

>Why is productivity higher on a mac?
better software, and better industry support of said software.
go to any cs tutorial, and there will be a section titled something like "Click here for instructions on how to get setup on Windows" because the industry standard is unix (mac).

Sincerely OP, I suggest you kill yourself so that I may never have the misfortune of having you as a doctor.

Sincerely, user.

Dear troubled user,

Why?

Your friend, user

Most likely the only thing you'll need is ms office because everyone is a reatard who use proprietary garbage.
Any machine will do if it can run ms word and powerpoint.

a cheap work laptop like a thinkpad should do the job

Well you will become part of the broken medical system and will be paid a bunch, better start buying over priced useless garbage either way and get a Mac

Get a Thinkpad x1 Carbon 3rd gen. Try to get it of Craigslist. You can get these for $500 and lower. They are good.

ASUS ZenBook, whichever suits you.

Why do you need a laptop for? You don't need a fancy Mac, all you need is a box capable of making Powerpoint presentations, browsing the Internet, displaying pictures and sharing learning material with other students. There's always going to be at least one guy who photographs the slides at the lectures.

Which is private medicine is shit, if not for FDA doctors would sell snek oil.

What are it's pros, compared to other laptops?

>inb4 muh software

Best battery life in class, nothing contests this and debatably best display. Macos is also the best os for programming imho. Iterm2 is the best terminal. Speakers are top tier. Oh and the best track pad ever mad3, undebatable. Super thin and light with top teir fit and finish

>inb4 apple shill
First apple product i owned since ipod touch a decade ago.

Downsides. Overpriced. Shity keyboard. Not upgradable. Like to hit 95c before making an effort to spin the fans, less of an issue with lower tdp skews. Usb c only ports but i spent 60 bucks and have all the dongals i need now

Thinkpad is essentially its own brand with the Lenovo name slapped on it. Look at the articles where Lenovo machinery is defective - it's never the Thinkpad models. This is because Thinkpad's fanbase are technically skilled computer people who refuse to accept anything but a top tier product. The rest of Lenovos are meme tier but the Thinkpad remains the best of the best.

cognitive dissidence

Whatever laptop mate.
You see CS PhD with shitty 5 years old Asus, professors with vanilla chromebooks and google slides presentations, and humanities freshmen with the lastest apple suite with maxed-out specs.

I never understood the bringing a laptop to class meme. Here if you pull out a laptop in the middle of class you will be literally asked to leave most often with the words "If you aren't interested in the lecture just leave". Then again my entire education was 2.5k euro and that was one of the most expensive ones in my country so what do I know.

This is the objectively correct answer.

anything under $500 that has at least 8 hours of battery on it. Apple is a meme and buying it should make you feel bad.

All the meme “future is female” CS professors have flashy MacBooks. The Chad theorists all have optiplex’s from like 2007.

you wont find a good job, every dirty piece of shit filipino has already taken it

I upgraded from a Surface Pro 4 to a Huawei Matebook X Pro. I don't regret it at all.

I picked it up from the Microsoft store for $1300 with tax after the student discount and black friday sale.

Get a thinkpad and use this

Just from my personal anecdotal experience every poser who brought laptop to classes everyday to "take notes" didnt make it past 1st exam.

You only need work, fucking mongoloid.

MS Word* LibreOffice, a fucking word processor.

Surface products are pretty shit for notetaking in my experience.
Ipad is the only tablet even worth considering for school, but still limited by ios. Its based for notes though.
Any laptop will do laptop things, just think about any software you might need and is it windows or mac specific
More than anything i recommending going to a best buy and trying out anything you can

Most retarded I've read today.

This will get you med pussy. Medfags are just memorizibg machines but brainlets, the new concept will get them interested for a short while. How you go from there is on you but never go full geek,its not their style.

T.geek who finished medschool for fun

Don't go to medical school user. You will waste your life and then be replaced by robots.

i purchase 2 x 2012 mac book pros and

put in samsung ssd 500 gig evo in both

partition into data and HD

encrypt

extra ram if you need

the HD cable can go, and sometimes the ram slot.

BUT

you can have zero down time , when one fails you just contiune on the other one, use carbon copy everyday or so as a back up system

and you can strip one of these down and re assemble at will.

I have completely disassembled and put back to replace keyboard.

and about 4 other times.

I have 1700 battery cycles on each. Still going strong.

we already do its called free health care
