A few things to note for any PC you're going to be developing with:
In terms of the OS, Windows will do everything you need unless you're doing mobile app development. Otherwise any PC will be a good idea:
Some things to consider for a laptop:
Keep in mind that besides that you'll probably want something durable. Apple machines tend to be built well. Enough said. But for the PC realm I'd take a look at the following product lines:
Otherwise any other "flagship" laptop is good, and look around to see about any deals. Also I named particularly mainstream laptops that can have powerful processors & fast storage, but if you planned on a gaming laptop then naturally look into other lineups that have better cooling + more powerful graphics.
(Assuming you got a '4K model')
You may be unaware this laptop uses a PenTile (RG/BW) not-true-4K display, regarded deceptive marketing on part of ASUS and doesn't produce the full detail of the resolution. You get all the risk that not all your software scales correctly (Adobe apps need a workaround, to name one case), without getting the full sharpness of 3840x2160 in exchange for it. More info in the /r/SuggestALaptop/ sidebar.
High resolutions can be used for utility if your eyesight is good (you can turn down scaling and have more "screen realestate"), or you may just like "Retina display" level sharpness, and if so you can get true 3840x2160 as well as better GPUs in these:
If not, the FHD 1920x1080 versions of those are good too, and there are a number of other laptops that will likely meet your performance requirements. For example this Clevo P650 resold by Eluktronics has a GTX 1060 (much better for GPU-bound tasks, either gaming or if you have any software that benefits from it, I'm not sure), 512GB SSD (SATA not PCIe but still considerably better than a primary HDD), solid build quality, and a good IPS FHD display. $50 cheaper with this version which simply has last year's CPU, which isn't a huge difference.
Really there's hardly a case I recommend the Zenbook Pro. You may get lucky and get the LG panel which has better contrast and color balance than the Samsung version of the not-true-4K panel, and within the LG panel units it seems there is a small chance you receive a true-4K panel (production in, but I wouldn't count on that.
And as mentioned, you can very likely get by with something less powerful (and spend less) unless you know there's particular software you need to run. These are more of direct counter-recommendations.
Hey, same boat as you but I did an arts degree after highschool (did not really push my already lacking math skills).
At 32 (10 years out of school) I started my compsci degree at Carleton. The summer before hand I decided to write the GRE which is a "graduate student placement exam" that used to be more of a requirement to get into grad programs. Truth is though, it tests skills that everyone should have at the end of grade 12. I didn't need to write it, but I figured it was the perfect thing to study for to build back those skills.
You can even just study the math side of it and not bother taking it but if you can do or at least understand the problems in a prep book for each section it tests, you will not have a problem with CS math. So GRE prep book (one that explains the solutions) saved me and is my recommendation.
The programming aspect is just practice, asking TAs or prof if you're stuck and learning how to google efficiently. You won't be hopelessly behind on that.
Edit: Here's a link to the book I used
Good luck!
Tide pods for laundry. It’s a bit more expensive but much easier to store.
Shower caddy and flip flops in case your roommates aren’t tidy in the shower.
Kettle, teas/coffee, French press (can also steep your tea in a French press).
Posters and pictures from home, helps with home sickness and makes your room feel more comfortable.
Laptop lock and key, people steal laptops all the time. Happened to my roomie in first year.
Long and flat storage containers for under your bed. You can put all your extra toiletries and seasonal clothes in there. Like this: Sterilite 19638606 Large Clip Box Clear with Blue Aquarium Latches 6 Pack https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B004QJGW6C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_sAQhDbAS4VTSX
This isn’t allowed, but I brought a rice cooker to make healthier late night meals. There’s a late night food court (oasis) but it’s mostly pizza and burgers. You can make cans of soup, rice and eggs, ramen, pasta, etc in your rice cooker.
Last, and most importantly, set boundaries with your stuff. It’s really common for people to make friends, walk into each other’s room, and borrow each other’s stuff. It always starts off innocent but after a while people get annoyed and don’t know how to say no because they feel they’re being rude. Be polite, but set boundaries with your stuff early.
Edit: typo.
I've never biked to school here. But in the GTA I had my bike stolen. Now if I'm going to leave my bike anywhere I use one of these extra large chains: https://www.amazon.ca/Kryptonite-999492-60-Inch-Fahgettaboudit-Chain/dp/B001SMUB7G/ref=asc_df_B001SMUB7G/?tag=googlemobshop-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=292958473101&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12433647985033178060&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9000671&hvtargid=pla-381360330145&psc=1
Anything smaller can be easily cut or removed. I don't know how bad bike theft is here. If it's anything like the GTA then I'd invest in a good lock if your bike is worth anything.
According to this website about Led Zepplin this book is where they got the symbol from.
This is all the book says about the symbol:
>Three triangles all touching at a central point to form a new figure. This is an old symbol for the Godhead. Beyond this nothing is known about it.
FYI, you can apparently buy this book on Amazon

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/toc/0133116530/ref=dp_toc?_encoding=UTF8&n=916520
looks like the same book, with extra chapters to me...
If you live in residence, l highly recommend buying a router. This is the one l have in my room
Another thing that you can use is a Network Switch. This is the one that I use. As far as I am aware, it is like a router, but without the wifi.
I read that if you use a USB-C adapter to USB-3.0, then you can plug the Ethernet adapter directly into the Switch in tablet mode.
I bought these a few days ago and can update you when they arrive (Amazon says they will arrive the 10th):

>cost no more than 500
I'd get a refurbished T-series thinkpad. T440 or T450. They're more reliable than anything new on the market at that price point. You can then put in more ram, an ssd, or switch to a bigger battery afterwards. Dell inspirons (intel not amd) are also ok for <500. Once again, put in an ssd and more ram. Or this for 350USD + shipping to Canada
Or go on /r/SuggestALaptop

My second thought (after online CU bookstore) was amazon, but they don't have ebooks for everything. For example, my philosophy textbook. Only paperback available.
I'd probably survive with a physical book, but I'd much prefer an ebook. If all else fails, I'll either order physical copies from amazon or go into the bookstore.
> is my breaking point.
Is it though? Would you actually get angry and stand up for yourself if someone came to try and disrupt the rally? Pro-HK rallies in Vancouver have been repeatedly disrupted by pro-China protesters. Demonstrators at SFU also had their wall taken down.
Organizing something like this on reddit is a likely way to have a "counter-protest" show up. The CCP actually exerts considerable influence among Chinese-Canadians and foreign exchange students (and it's not like Carleton has any lack of those). Canada's leading Chinese newspaper is indirectly controlled by the Beijing government. There's a pretty good book on the subject if you want to read more.
Point being, this sub regularly complains about issues like stress and mental health issues brought on by school, which would pale in comparison to the stress brought on by actual political activism. The HK issue is a political crisis and not really the place for slacktivism. Personally, I'd support a rally, but I'm also not the kind of person who clutches my keys between my fingers while walking to my car at night. Just some food for thought.
