Personally, I am not fated to Lenevo Brand. Bought 2 sets last time and had life span short lived. Either hang for no reasons or mother board spoilt.laptop brands for this year's road show is out...lenovo not participating.

Have been using mac air so far. 5 years still good. -

Asus is a fairly popular brand with tertiary students and amongst Engineering students. The Zen series is fairly lightweight. Briefly saw the price list and it seems laptop prices have increased. However, it does come with a couple of freebies, like external hard drive and vga adapters, etc.laptop brands for this year's road show is out...lenovo not participating.

Looking at the Asus models (or other prefer brands) offered in school, can make a comparison with external vendors (harvey norman, challenger...) and see if the latter offers similar promo bundling and pricing. Remember to check if the external vendors offer local & international warranties.
I know most students prefer to buy in school as the bundling is fairly attractive and there's that assurance that the specs will be aligned with school's requirements. The onus is on students to check if they buy from outside. -
IT show is round the corner. Can see if any good hunt.

hubby insisted buying the laptop at the road show...definitely aligned with school requirements. saw some models with minimum specs at gain city at less than $1k but he refused...even challenger (his favourite shop) wasn't appealing.

That's great. After purchase, your son can then make appointment with school IT support to download the various softwares and programs that are relevant to his course. He must be excited.
