  • Chromebook. If all you're doing is typing shit, and watching movies it's all you need. Mine even came with 3 years of online storage(100gb). Asus also makes decent laptops if you like the traditional windows experience. Personally, if I had the budget, I'd buy a Chromebook pixel just for the 1tb of online storage it comes with. You're just prepaying for the online storage if you do the math(oh, and you get a free laptop). If you're gaming, a desktop would be ideal, if you're dead set on a laptop, Asus makes some decent ones.

  • 13" Macbook air if you like the OS. If you want to game as well get a MSI GS70.

  • Apple products are the best but way overpriced Definitely go for a MacBook Pro or Air But those are premium toys If you're more of a budget laptop guy then I'd recommend Samsung These guys make good shit man They're not far behind Apple but definitely way cheaper The series 9 is good And the Ativ Book 8 is a good all around 15 incher The Ativ book 6 is also on par with the Ativ book 8 Also the toshiba tecra Z and tecra R are good work laptops I would put my money on Lenovo Their U530 is good thin and light The S431 is also good

    The answer depends on your budget, since your needs are pretty basic. For school, you need productivity software and a web browser. A $250 Chromebook can meet those needs. So can a $999 Macbook Air. The Macbook Air lineup tend to be good choices if you can afford them. The 13" model would be my pick. + Battery life (13 hours) + Super portable (like -5 pounds) + Decent performance (SSD, optimized software) + Comes with all the software you need (iWork, Safari) - Low resolution display for the price (900p) - Low storage capacity (max of 256GB) - Compatibility issues (due to MacOS) - Pricey ($1099)

  • For gaming go with PC, for business/school stuff...go for Mac.
