getting a laptop

[Hitshade]

i don't think they will believe i need quad-core for word processing.

Tell them they are as old and outdated as the technology they want to buy you. What good is a laptop that finishes loading its OS when your class is over? None!

Tell them you would be better off with a fucking typewriter.

See how that pans out for you.

Someone's gonna end up with a typewriter.

Tell them that they're absolutely correct, until you run into a gen ed class like Astronomy that requires 3D modeling tools for the Universe. Then you end up spending more time waiting for things to finish loading/running than you do actually getting results. That sounds pretty valid.

if you really want to go the college route

tell them its one of the suggested laptops for a couple of classes you were thinking of taking and youd rather be prepared then not

or tell them its either the 1grand laptop or 1.5grand mac
