Could anyone help me pick out a laptop?
I'm going to study computer science in a couple of weeks and my school has sent out some requirements for the computer required.
GPU isn't that important since it will mainly be used for programming and studying.
1. min. 8 GB RAM
2. A newer i5 or i7 CPU (or an AMD equivalent)
3. min. 256 GB storage
4. max 1000$
5. The lighter it is, the better
Thanks!

ThinkPad t420
T450 x250 x240 t440 literally any thinkpad
this make sure you get one with a 1080p display tho
no, too old.
Go for newer think pads. Don't listen to retards trying to convince you that t420 is good enough for most people.
Look for t450s/t460 with IPS full HD screen. After leasing they are dirt cheap, and not too aged for most common tasks. They have also hot swappable battery which is huge plus on long travels
If you really need to ask for a help picking a laptop, do you belong in IT field?
dell xps 13 or nothing
>too old
i didn't see any age requirements in the OP you little shit
bait thread.
x220 with ssd and ram and ANY linux distro is faster than even the latest windows lappy
used MacBook pro 15
I assume he wants a good laptop, so don't recommend outdated garbage you fucking arrogant faggot.
>old thing bad

>old thing good

t440s or t450s with 1080p panel and a i7
Dell latitude
but new thing IS bad
Dilate?
Just don't buy any chink crap, like lenovo, it's just wasted money.
second hand xps 15
Get a 1440p IPS screen, it's an absolute must for programming. 17" if you can, no less than 15" ever. Any CPU will do, you can set up distcc over ipv6 from your desktop at home, don't worry about compile speeds. Plus, literally every modern pentium can compile the heaviest student's projects in less than 30 seconds.
8GB DDR4 is plenty plenty for student's projects.
Jesus you must have no friends dude.
no not this
>15.6
>gaming
op wanted a light computer user
This.
unironically a think pad.
just browse through lenovo and pick one. They all have very good build quality. although some have some small bad stuff (for example the x1 has awful speakers and camera if you care about that) however overall it's way better than most of the stuff that you can find
huwawei matebook x
MacBook Pro 13" 2018
ignoring the memebar, it's a good laptop.
Lenovo is a chink shit company
any used thinkpad x1 carbon
I don't think I could adjust to mac os, otherwise it would probably be the best option for me.
I'm actually leaning towards some kind of zenbook from asus.
