He definitely doesn't, but Lenovos are amazing though they are over your budget, they are the best budget laptop even better than some "gaming" laptops, I'm unaware of what programs you need to run through your program, if you don't need to run any programs you could pick up any cheap laptop ideally.

Like Devo said, it all depends on what games or programs you want to be able to run on the laptop...have a look here:

My fault i didn't make it clear, i wont be using the laptop for gaming, the laptop i want is something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834232129 (2 in 1 ) kind of lap top
mainly for school, watch movies, music , etc nothing for gaming
Edit: My problem is i don't know what should the laptop have, im confused about all these things such as i5, i7 , 4gb of ram , etc etc. what should i be looking for or what is the recommended specs it should have ?

Bro, that's why I linked you too the Lenovo site. Go there...click on the Yoga series, for example and close out the 1st popup windows that asks if you want to recieve emails....wiat less than a minute and another Windows will pop up...it will be a Lenovo representitive that will offer to "chat"....

Do so...explain to them what you want, listen to what they say...check out some of the other series Laptops in your price range, while still in the chat window. THEN you will have a better idea of those things you just asked.


Then when you have a good idea about laptops...and things you didn't tell US...like how big a screen, to you want touch screen or not, battery life...etc...then come back here and post I looked at these...what do you all think?

I went through much of college with a 12.1" asus 1215t for instance, and while it was great and portable, the eye strain from staring at a relatively small screen is unbearable after a few hours. I ended up using it with an external monitor.
If you're doing anything reading intensive, x-ray tech sounds like it, for god's sake get something that's at least 15 inches.

Might I suggest a Mac Book Air? It sounds like that would be the best for you.

This is another good choice.

I've studied every laptop Lenovo currently sells for weeks when I was choosing my new laptop. Feel free to ask me any questions as I know them very well now. :lol:

thats funny i had the same problem with my old lap top ( which is now dead.. r.i.p) it was 11.5" and my eyes would squint every time to see the letters and pics, the idea of a 15" sounds perfect, thanks for the recommendation
