So heading off for college in the next few weeks and unfortunately between paying for text books, tuition its self, expenses (insurance, gas), and having to get a new serpentine belt and steering pump put into my car, my budget for a laptop has gone down to a cool $220 and wont change till well after classes start. Knowing I dont want a chromebook I knew my best option was used for the money I have.
After looking around for a week or so I found my favorite and best option is a old HP Elitebook Workstation. Its got a 3rd gen i7, 256gb SSD, 8gb ram, and is in decent condition.
Now my question is, and preferably to be answered by people who use bigger laptops and carry them around with them, that laptop is 7 pounds, I use to carry around a decently heavy backpack in high school, never weighed it, but carrying that around for more than 10 minutes wasnt fun. If I do get this 15.6" 7 pound behemoth of a laptop will it eventually annoy me both from the shier size and weight of constantly carrying it around and getting it out?
Again if anyone has done this with maybe a gaming laptop or even a workstation as well or uses a huge laptop for work, any input you have would be greatly appreciated!
