So if it’s not already on there, don’t bank on that. And you also don’t know if the incoming classes will even be using that same software two years from now because technology can change a ton by then.
Very true on that part, I would love to get a laptop sooner than later but I can be patient plus keep saving! Thank you for your helpful reply.
I bought my laptop just before starting school and am hoping it will last me the full 4 years. We'll see. I'm an abusive computer owner. I have a laptop with touch screen capabilities (that I mostly use when I'm lying bed watching netflix and the mouse is too much trouble) but it's not a 2 in 1, for reasons that I can't specifically remember right now. I definitely looked at a couple of 2 in 1s but decided against them. I think I specifically remember looking at the surface but deciding I would definitely murder that keyboard within months. When I got it, I wondered a little bit if I would regret not getting a 2 in 1 or if I might end up wanting another device. So far, I'm happy with my decision though. I think it just depends on how you personally plan to use your device(s).
That's what I have in mind of doing, purchasing the laptop before I start. I think I'm an okay laptop user, but do use it almost the entire day, every day (mostly netflix, youtube, hulu, homework, on occasion gaming). So this is something I have to inform the workers in computer stores. I honestly did not think of this before. Thank you for the helpful response!
