I'm going to college starting this fall and I'm in need of a new laptop.
I don't know if I should build one or buy one. I want something like the Macbook Pro, in terms of hardware - very thin, sleek, preferably metal (or non-cheap looking plastic), light, maybe a 15 inch screen?
I'm going to be running Ubuntu as my main OS. I'm going to college for computer science/programming. I don't know what computer they'd recommend (I'm going to UCF) or if it'd be okay to run Ubuntu as my main OS because of my field.
Anyways, can anyone recommend some laptops similar to the MBP in terms of hardware as I described above? Or any good resources if I should build my own laptop?
Thanks!
