| In Canada, for a 9 year old talking about scripting and coding, $1000? Posted: 19 Apr 2018 04:14 PM PDT Total budget and country of purchase: No idea what's reasonable and Canada Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. I'm not sure what would be best for a 9 year old teaching himself to script for Roblox. How important is weight and thinness to you? Not at all, I don't think. Which OS do you require? Windows, Mac, Chrome OS, Linux. I honestly don't know. Do you have a preferred screen size? If indifferent, put N/A. NA Are you doing any CAD/video editing/photo editing/gaming? List which programs/games you desire to run. Scripting/coding for Roblox If you're gaming, do you have certain games you want to play? At what settings and FPS do you want? Beyond Minecraft and Roblox, I have no idea. Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Nothing that I know of, but please tell me if anything is important! Leave any finishing thoughts here that you may feel are necessary and beneficial to the discussion. I'm sorry. Lousy title. But I honestly don't even know what I'm looking for. I've got a 9 year old who has decided to teach himself how to script and code (please do not laugh at me if that is totally redundant or just plain wrong). He wants to make Roblox games. He currently has an ipad, no computer. He'd like a laptop and frankly, he's a really smart, awesome kid and he's determined to save up his money to buy one, so we'd like to buy it for him. Or, maybe let him "help" buy it becuase he's awfully committed to this. So...with those VERY broad parameters, what am I looking for? I have no idea what kind of price I'm looking at, at all. But am willing (happy!) to save for the right thing because he's working so hard on this. EILI5? Thanks so much! submitted by /u/tatania199 [link] [comments] |

| Looking for a laptop for mostly school and college ($1500 USD budget) Posted: 19 Apr 2018 11:59 PM PDT So I live in Australia and I'm half-way through Year 12 and going into University next year. My current laptop is getting pretty old so I told my parents that I need a laptop for Year 12 and that I will use it through at least my first two years at Uni. Since my parents really focus on my education, they gave me a budget of $2000 Australian Dollars, which is pretty surprising since I usually really don't ask them for things. This converts to $1542 USD but it would be great if I could drop that down to $1300 - $1400 just to not cause any troubles for them. Been looking at some the new Macbook line and the fact that there is no USB port among other things baffles me, but other than that, it seems like a good choice. Dell XPS 13 or 15 is also a viable option but some of them prices are way outta my range. Total budget and country of purchase: Australia and $2k AUD ($1.5k AUD) Do you prefer a 2 in 1 form factor, good battery life or best specifications for the money? Pick or include any that apply. 2 in 1 isn't that important for me but the others are good How important is weight and thinness to you? Would prefer a light and thin laptop Which OS do you require?

Mainly CSGO and 60-80 fps would be pretty good Any specific requirements such as good keyboard, reliable build quality, touch-screen, finger-print reader, optical drive or good input devices (keyboard/touchpad)? Having a quality keyboard that makes crisp noises is a priority lol. That's why I like Macbooks and XPS since I type A LOT. Anyway, hope you guys can give me some suggestions. This is my first time on this sub and I would expect that this question gets asked a lot but it would be great if you guys could chuck me an answer. submitted by /u/SchweppesBoy [link] [comments] |

During the evenings/weekends, I do a lot of creative artwork (currently with an iPad Pro but have found it is seriously lacking for my needs and more of a hobbyist tool/sketchpad).
