First of all, my english is bad. Sorry for that.
I want to buy a laptop for my college years. My major that im attending to is computer science. Im finding a laptop that can help me through these years, also for gaming and watching netflix.
I only play one game (league of legends) and there will be nothing beside the school things and office.
I have around $1500.
Can i have some advices and options??
Thank you

What kind of budget do you have and where do you live?

Most basic laptops can do what you are asking for. Software development doesn't require an enormous amount of resources starting out. If there's a money amount you were targeting we can suggest around that.

I looked and looked and for your budget it's hard to find a decent laptop that has a dedicated GPU and a SSD. Those are the two items you'll want if you intend to game on it. Well, not so much the SSD, but you really don't want a sucky platter which is slow as hell. Look at ASUS or Dell.

I never heard of a Yoga 920. Stick to name brands.

Never mind. I guess it's a Lenovo. Not too sure how good they are and looking they are like $1600.

It should be more than capable except it has a small screen.

It doesnt really matter to me, at all. I have a small room and sometimes i might carry it on my belly, like what im doing w my old laptop. Just need a laptop, that i can bring to school sometimes, no game, i promise.
Just need some advice about that laptop, whether i should buy it or not. Its kinda expensive and i dont want to waste money on which is not worth that "big" money, to me.
