I'm looking for a laptop around the $800 range. The main aspects I'm looking at is durability/longevity, processing and overall speed, and functionality. Factors such as gaming, sound, video aren't too big of a deal for me. I'll be going on to law school next year and am wanting a laptop that I will be able to rely upon for the next 5 years at least. Below are three options that I have found so far, if anyone could chime in and let me know which you feel is my best option and the reasoning behind that choice I would really appreciate it. Or if you know of any other laptops (besides Apple) feel free to suggest them!
