    Laptop Help

    My girlfriend is in the process of buying a laptop for school. Her budget is 2500 USD. She is a business student and she doesn't game. She would prefer a 15" laptop because of their size. Her budget includes a lot of laptops so I was wondering if we could get some help picking one that will last 4 years of school and not disappoint her.

    Thanks

    Thinkpads are solidly built and you can purchase some more warranty for them. Battery life is pretty good as well.

    Ultrabooks would be a solid choice for her.

    Basically ultrabooks are mini laptops, usually at 11-13" paired with an SSD & high build quality. ^^

    I'd second the recommendation for an Ultrabook - very slim, very portable and usually with very good battery life.

    I'd take a look at Asus's offerings - the UX31 and UX21 lines are very good and will run you between $1000-$1500 depending on options.
