Muffins Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Personally I would recommend a Xiaomi Notebook Air 13.3 or the Xiaomi Notebook 12", it's an up and coming software company from china (they also make great smartphones). It comes with a good processor (comparable to mac quality), at a fraction of the cost. You can get the 12" for ~$500 , and the 13.3 for around $800 at current market. They have gotten very good reviews. You know where to find me if you have any questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudoinit6 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I actually get a lot of productivity out of chromeboooks. They are light, long battery life and so long as there is wifi are great for school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't.. You can use Intel XTU and do a slight undervolt. Never had problems with my current Surface Pro 3 i5. Running OSBuddy, multiple chome-tabs and VS || IntellJ fine. It's very, very convenient for school. Every laptop is fragile so it depends how you take care of it. @OP Don't get any Chromebooks or Xiaomi Air etc.. They are too underpowered, may be portable but don't think it can serve the right purposes. Suggestions: Dell XPS 13 (This looks really good, I owned one and everyone were saying about the good aesthetics) Surface Pro 3/4/5 (Slightly more expensive but I am using one now and I would say it's super super convenient.) LG Gram (Portable & Sleek) Maybe you have to take note of your power-brick size when purchasing since some of them are rather heavy.

Every single person who had a surface pro in my school had their screen broken their laptops were overheating and shutting down mid classes.... the laptops didn't last 3 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a U suffix behind them. They stand for low-power usage and that means it's slow! Furthermore, I am not sure if @OP wants to get XiaoMi since they are fairly new in the laptop industry.. They were previously making Phones, Tablets, Fridges, Television.. Etc.. Now on laptops, and the phones I used from XiaoMi died after a year of usage.

The XiaoMi laptops have got nothing but praise from not only the big tech channels, but others as well. It's a school laptop, it would be perfectly fine. The u suffix while it does mean low power usage, doesnt mean its slow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally used various laptops with suffix U and can justify they are indeed slower than normal processors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
