Computer for college

sup /prog/.

I'm going to college for computer science and I need a laptop. It should last me four years as I don't think I'm going to be able to work another computer into the budget. It does *not* need to be able to run commercial games, because I'm not a big PC gamer, but it should be able to run emulators pretty well as I love classic games.

Can you recommend brands/models? I mean, I don't know anything about PC brands because my parents are macfags and I've been using a fucking Mac my whole life. Perhaps a Mac is great if you're a moron, but if you like running... well, anything, it's a constant source of frustration as almost everything I want to do on it is either a huge pain in the ass, or in most cases, flat-out impossible. I mean, I know if I get a Mac, it'll be a new Intel Mac and I can run PC apps to a degree (although I've heard there are hoops to jump through.)

So: brands. Name them.

/prog/ is a machine into which you may insert nonsense, and from which you may receive more nonsense

it is perpetual nonsense generator

like babelfish to chinese and back

Good battery life, but...

Thinkpad T series.  You may think you're fine with just a touchpad until you actually use a Trackpoint.

Good battery life, good specs, durable, fairly lightweight, good support, good LCDs, comfortable keyboards, aesthetically pleasing, and as a bonus, it actually has three mouse buttons.

comp
is
that way

I'd suggest not taking computer science if you don't even know computer specs or how to build your own.

Knowing the latest information on computer hardware and how to make your own really has little to do with computer science, at least how I was taught it a few years ago. Anyway, at least he is asking the right questions.

>>17
... in the wrong place.

Again, /comp is -->

>>18
Agreed.

/prog/ != /comp/

>>20
strcmp("/prog/","/comp/") > 0 !!!

/prog/ <=> /comp/ => False

>>22
This is madness, spaceship should returns -1, 0 or 1, not booleans!

>>23
This is boolean LOGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC!!
