Mira, como tiraron aca, mandate una cuenta en Amazon, ponele Prime que puede ser que te ofrezcan probar un mes gratis (Despues dalo de baja antes del mes, o cuando hayan enviado la compra) o te hagan pagar 12 dolares.

Compras una compu vendida por amazon, y elegis envio de same day o two days al hotel de tus padres.

Acompañas que lo envien en regla antes de que se vaya (Si ves q se atrasan proba otro. Busqué modelos con especificaciones similares a ese Xiaomi:

It depends on what he wants it for. If he wants power+portability, I believe the the XPS 15 is a safer buy. It will run any software he could ever need in college (even games), while maintaining some portability (it's not bulky nor too big or heavy).

If his college has a lot of computer labs (to run heavier programs), and he wants to prioritize portability/features/design, the Matebook X is gonna be great, but it only ships later this summer (reviews are already praising the pre-release units).

From what I read, there are people who love 2 in 1's for college use, specially something like the Surface Pro, because of the absolute portability and the pen, so it replaces all your notebooks and printed material (don't forget to factor ir the price of the keyboard and the pen).

Hi, these are the best models I found based on your requirements with a bigger budget: noteb search result.

You can see and change the search parameters using the "Refine results" button in the upper-left part of the search results page. You can also click on the laptops for more information.

I would recommend the: Asus ZenBook UX390UA. With an FHD LED IPS Glossy display.

Another option with a slightly bigger budget would be the: Huawei Matebook X. With an QHD/2K LED IPS Glossy display and 95%sRGB color space.

Both of the laptops above come with 7th gen i5 CPU, good quality build and are light-weight for portability.

You can buy the Asus HERE.

You can buy the Huawei HERE.

I just got this yesterday myself, with the student deal too.

Honestly still thinking about whether I should return it and get a Huawei Matebook X while saving like $300

Some early frontrunners after a quick glance at Amazon.

Huawei MateBook X

Asus Zenbook

Anybody have experience with either of those?

Newegg shows a release date of 7/14:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16834324020

but Amazon still hasn't shown a release date. I'm hoping it's also the 14th.

It's up on Amazon, seems like it's the same deal with Space Gray only available on the i5 model... What a shame.

I'll still be getting it, but whatevs. 256/i5 is perfect, especially since battery life would probably be FUCKED with the i7. Buying a 250gb Samsung T3 SSD as well for media and stuff.

>You sound mentally unstable

This just reinforces how horrible you are by suggesting that I'm mentally unstable when that's clearly not the case.

>build quality meaning a better speccd or equal spec laptop with a premium material (metal not plastic), nice display, and equal or better trackpad.

I'll give the trackpad to Apple but as far as the rest of the laptop, Here you go:

https://www.amazon.com/Huawei-MateBook-Signature-Personal-Included/dp/B071VYDPF8

But I don't really care about a metal body and neither do a lot of people. I care what's inside and this gives me a much wider choice of laptops than what Apple gives and also, the graphics cards in the top level Macs are a joke.

They offer some of the laptops directly to amazon in canada - https://www.amazon.ca/Huawei-MateBook-Signature-Personal-Included/dp/B071VYDPF8/ref=pd_sbs_147_2?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=0JN02TRE0PEH16PF8ZNJ&th=1 The one I'm looking at is totally a reseller https://www.amazon.ca/notebook-i5-8250U-Windows10-backlit-keyboard/dp/B077QDZWC8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524378410&sr=8-1&keywords=Xiaomi+Mi+laptop
