Dell
i7-6600U
8GB RAM
512GB SSD
Dell Latitude E7270
All for about $480 CAD ($320 USD, £275 GBP)
Oof
Compared to retail, it's a steal
Normally $1200
For the current model
Yeah, now when the hinges snap after a year there's nothing to cry about
I've had a Dell E6220 for at least 6 years. Hinges are still going strong
nice laptop
Thanks
You’ve got a laptop for portability right? 😛
Yeah. I went for the 12" screen for portability.
Okay
Still 1080p too
If you’re actually using it for coding, is 8GB enough?
Does System Administration count as comp-sci in your view?
Oh yeah. The stuff I'm coding would definitely use less RAM than that.
If it's related to computers, I'd say it's appropriate
No as that’s it support
Is it administrating computers? I say go for it
I have a degree in comp sci but work as an it technician, I rarely use my comp sci skills in my day to day job
Both
I work in a school
Ah
Nice
I’m potentially going to become a comp sci teacher
It’s why I got a job in a school
Go for it, dude
To test the water before I go for it
Whether you're support or not, you're still using comp-sci subjects in your day to day job. Depending on person and their job of course.
I've worked in computers most of my life even without a degree
It helps me occasionally but the bulk of my work I learnt on the job

Isn't that the case for coders as well?
My degree didn’t teach me to deploy policies via group policy
