[NABS-L] Choosing a Laptop

[Lanie Molinar]

Hi, everyone. This is Lanie Molinar. I'm sending this to a lot of lists 
at once. Some are tech-related, some are related to software 
development, and some are for students. I might have to get a new laptop 
soon and have a few questions. First, let me give you a little 
background info to help you understand what I'm looking for. I'm a 
college student getting a degree in Software Engineering, so I'll be 
working with code and developing things. I also have several 
disabilities and health issues in addition to my blindness, so I can't 
do much physically and spend a lot of my day on the computer doing 
schoolwork, taking surveys for extra money, gaming, and doing lots of 
other stuff. I'm fairly sure that I want a computer with Windows 10, not 
a Mac, although I'm willing to look into a Mac if that seems better. I 
would also be happy with something running Linux. I definitely want 
something new, not used, with plenty of RAM. There are so many options 
that I'm just not sure what to look for or where to get it. Again, I 
also need something that can handle being used all day, gaming, and 
developing software. My family is low-income, so I need to get it from 
somewhere that offers good payment plans. Can anyone give me some advice 
on how to choose a laptop, good places to buy one from, and what I 
should get? For those on software development- related lists, I'm 
interested in what would be best for a developer. I would really 
appreciate any help. Thanks.
