depends on which poly u go.. for me, i heard that RP sell laptop
damn exp. but as for SP and NP, the price is about $200-$300
cheaper.
laptop is not always the choice. Buy only when your poly course
needs it. for me, i admit to SP engineering school which doesn't
require to buy.
but then my hand itchy go buy then in the end nv use.. i regretted,
and i rather use that money to build a com which have much better
specs than my current laptop.
ps: when freshmen comes to poly, they will hold a pc fair in
school
