I just bought this yesterday for my 16 year old son. He is in year 11, doing subjects heavy in maths and science. His old laptop was 8 years old and falling. I had a budget of $1200, reluctantly, as I knew that DDR prices and storage prices had gone through the roof recently. Typically, I have spent $700-800 on laptops for my kids.
I walked into a local retailer and this was presented as a laptop that had been ordered and not collected or paid for. Price was $1,999 firm.
After some negotiation, I walked out with it for $1,500. Way more than I was comfortable spending but it seems to be a good deal, unless I am missing something?
Genuinely curious, what do you even use a laptop for when doing maths and science? UK here and I did both at A-level which is year 12/13. I don't think we really touched a computer for it, maybe the occasional pdf of an old exam paper.
I had a laptop, but it was mostly used for running a minecraft server.
typing up some essays, thats what i used family pc back a few decades ago
Essays for maths and science?
We also did English language, literature and history. Donno what school is like now but we had to do a fair number of subjects 11-16. And yes some more humanities centered ones had essays to do
Ahh if you are doing that as well then sure. Though essay writing doesn't need anything like those specs. I could write an essay on a pi zero.
Absolutely
