The next-best option I’ve found is the Acer Swift 3 SF314-54-39BH, which isn’t as well built but performs just as effectively and has a battery life of around seven hours.
An iPad makes for a bad laptop — but not everyone needs a laptop. If you would use a laptop only to browse the Web, handle email, or take notes in class, you might be better off skipping a laptop in favor of an iPad and an external keyboard. The combo of a sixth-generation iPad and a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard is cheaper than a Windows or Chromebook laptop, not to mention lighter, more versatile, and better in battery life than most Windows options.
I’d choose an iPad over a similarly priced laptop for watching movies, browsing the internet, reading textbooks, and writing (emails, essays, or notes). Basically, it’s perfect for a lot of liberal arts students. If you prefer to take digital handwritten notes, the sixth-generation iPad supports the first-generation Apple Pencil, which works better than the Windows and Chromebook styluses I’ve used.The iPad is a bad choice if you code, edit media files, work extensively in Google Docs, do design work, or require a mouse.
aptops under $500 are good for students who don’t need special software, as well as for anyone who just wants to browse the Web. If you need a laptop capable of creative tasks, heavy multitasking, or gaming, you have to spend more money, but our guide to the best laptops can help you find what you need.

The verbiage of the second amendment has stayed the same since it was first established before the revolutionary war. "The debate over the second amendment is nothing new," said Lenoir. People on one side of the fence continue to fight for their constitutional right.. while those on the other side call for change.
Change doesn't come easy. Lenoir says either two thirds of the House and Senate must agree on the change, or two thirds of the delegates have to support it during a constitutional convention."The fact is that we can't even get a simple majority of the senators and the house members to support continuing providing health care coverage for 9/11 survivors tells me that were gonna have a hard time getting something like a constitutional amendment passed. That's with anything," he said.
"There are two sides. There’s the one side that wants to change it and they’re saying 'Look, yes, murders take place with other types of weapons, however, guns make somebody who wants to take life much more efficient at it," he said, "On the flip side, the people who are advocates of the second amendment and want to protect it, they’re concerned that if they give an inch the government will take a mile."
"It's a tough decision hopefully smart people sit down at the table and come up with a way to preserve life because its sad when you see headlines with 20 plus people sent to the hospital because of somebody with a rifle," he said.The laptop market could soon be shaken up, with Lenovo unveiling 5G connected laptops with all-day battery lives by December 2019.
This is according to 91mobiles, which apparently spoke to an anonymous Lenovo employee. Laptops that can connect to super-fast 5G mobile networks could be a real game changer, and if 91mobiles is correct, we hopefully won’t have long to wait.With 5G bringing much faster download speeds and lower latency, laptops with built-in 5G connectivity could access the internet – and make use of cloud streaming services – much faster, potentially revolutionising how we use them.
All-day batteries
According to this unnamed Lenovo employee, the company is also working closely with Intel and Qualcomm to produce laptops with all-day battery life.This means we could see Lenovo laptops included in Intel’s Project Athena, which aims to make Windows 10 laptops faster, thinner and with day-long battery lives.
Meanwhile, Qualcomm has been partnering with laptop makers to produce machines running on its Snapdragon platform, which brings some of the best features of smartphones – such as instant boot and always-connected mobile internet – along with incredibly long battery lives.While this is exciting news, it’s worth bearing in mind that this is coming from an anonymous source, so as always it’s worth being a bit cautious before getting your hopes up.
