I want to purchase a laptop for school, any suggestions on the best laptop to buy?
a cheap one, because they all are made in china and damage too soon. it should be a laptop with a detachable screen, because that will be much more convenient when reading something or making a presentation, then when writing something, the screen can be put back on the keyboard again.
If you are in the hood, or cant keep things nice - get a POS - HP or Acer When it dies in 1 month - who cares ? If it gets stolen - who cares ? If you will NOT use it for gaming - get a mac or ThinkPad T-series If you cant afford either of those - get a Lenovo Ideapad or Dell Latitude Look @ warranty repair rates of manufacturers- that will tell you general reliability.
I'd suggest a cheap HP. It's enough and won't ruin your bank account, and they're laptops are always well built.
