How small is too small (of laptop for a programmer)
- by defn
Im thinking of replacing my HP Pavilion dv5-1004nr with Acer Aspire AS5738-6444, I'm a CS student... so im torn between screen size (liking the 15in and decent gpu.. but it weight nearly 8 pounds and battery can barely last 2 hours in power saver mode) and wanting something portable to carry to classes/take notes ect (3 pounds and up to 8 hour battery life of the acer)
what would you guys suggest? acer any good? i love my hp keyboard..
(or have links to other good laptops, im aiming for 600$ range?)
