Find out the process it takes then put it together.

Hi. Which is priority, programming or video editing? If video editing, then the MacBook Air? What software are you going to use?

Hi. If you're using virtual machines, then having large RAM would be great as the more RAM you have, the better VMs will run. With $500, I don't think you can get anything "high quality". Does your College/University have requirements, if so, could you post them here?

I don't think there's a laptop that fits all of those requirements. Any of those laptops will do.

I would go with what your college recommends. What college do you go to by the way? What I used at the time I started college was the Asus GL771J but it cost me $2000 CAD in that time (2015). It was recommended as the "Ultra Performance Model" from my college. which had similar specs to your...

Yeah, like what rgd1101 said, the char data type can only hold one character. You're going to have to use a char array like what ksham said. Also, in addition to what ksham was talking about. If there are only two outcomes, use if and else. If you got a few outcomes, you can use if with else if...

I would go for MSI as their quality for gaming and programming is really good. I would stay away from Alienware as they're overpriced, faulty, and have bad customer support. Razer would also be good.

Are you only looking for Ultrabooks or are you open to other types of laptops as well?

It's this one (https://www.hpshopping.in/hp_omen_-_17-w249tx), right? It would be great if you could provide the link to your laptop so I can compare the difference with other brands. There are many variations. Any SSD that come in laptops is more than fast enough for programming, gaming, and...

It depends on what you're doing in IT. Your MacBook should be fine, you can write C++ with Apple's Xcode. As for Visual Basic, there is none for Mac, only Windows as it's Microsoft. For Linux, you can just use VMware for that. I'm sure that IT jobs provides the computer/laptops you need, even if...

The keys don't get stuck when pressed down right? If it doesn't, have you tried reinstalling your Windows (doing a clean install)?

Like Techy said, the more expensive the better, with $300, the performance difference will definitely be significant, especially with those specs. The ROG is also significantly different as it's handles towards more heavy tasks such as gaming so it will have a better build quality, cooling...

Any of those will work fine. If you plan on using VMware or any similar software, I'd recommend the Lenovo IdeaPad IP310-15ABR as it has more RAM and VMs runs better with more RAM.

Based on my college experiences, it depends on what you're doing. If you're using programs like Eclipse or Visual Studio, or even Notepad++, and you're not writing over 1000 (approximate) lines of code, then any cheap laptop will do (I would go with Alabalcho's suggestion). If you, however, want...

It's pretty decent. Here's something I'd recommend as it's cheaper but has better specs. In college, I use an ASUS ROG laptop as it was recommended by the college. It's something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/Republic-Gamers-Laptop-1000GB-Windows/dp/B01578ZK9A It has 16 GB of RAM, an I7...
