Good laptops for Uni?? (1 Viewer)

[aandablitzer]

I won't be getting the surface with all the issues you guys are saying, also my brother has had one for a year and already has some problems. I'm thinking of either M1air, refurbished mbp, acer zenbook, acer aspire 5, but am unsure as to which one (leaning towards apple). PS i may choose to do business with a major in finance/marketing or i may do project/construction management. So would these laptops be fine for either course?

@aandablitzer where did you get your zenbook from and which model was it because all the zenbooks i see are like $1.7k

I got mine off ebay, can't remember the seller tho sorry

Apple sucks UNLESS you have the Quintet as seen here. I know I did vouch for the surface, but I got one for an extremely low price from an airport auction so you really can't complain about a huge bargain.

Should I write digital notes?! 🧐

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could provide advice on handwriting digital notes on my iPad (6th gen). Would that be appropriate for the HSC? For e.g: biology, geography, economics, English write all notes digitally except math. Practice essays and such will be written by hand but the nOtEs will...

I've read the thread and can't figure out what quintet is, is it for notetaking? cause when i search it up it comes up as a game

get a MacBook air, it's only $100 above your budget but trust me it will help you a lot

Have a look to see if they have student discounts, you may be able to get 10-15% of the original price.

Otherwise, maybe stalk JB Hi-Fi sales.

If you want one, wait until the new year for the Apple back to school sale. Usually you can get a free pair of beats but this year in the US you could also get free AirPods.

Do you remember what time/dates they had the deal on for (do they do the back to school sale every year?), because uni starts towards end of feb

Ty, and do U think the M1 air would be an eligible product since it's new?

Also it says that for students to be eligible:
"A full time or part time student aged 18 or over with a current student union card or student
identification card and studying at an accredited Australian university or other Apple
approved institution" but I don't have a student card and don't know when I'll get it

Once you enrol you’ll get a student email and that should be enough pretty sure

ASUS, Apple, Lenovo and Dell are the brands to go.
