I would suggest the Aspire V5-552G-X852. It's very good for the price, check it out here:

8GB's isn't a lot? And ram isn't a big factor, as some tend to believe...

Here is one that is cheaper, and around the same exact performance.

Try looking at a Toshiba Portege; small, lightweight, and from what I can remember reasonably priced.

Wait.
Before you go buying anything, make sure you have a good place to keep it. Trust me, I'm going into my second year and a whole lot of crap has been stolen. Like, at least three items a week. Sometimes bags, sometimes wallets.
Make sure the school's students are trustworthy, then decide.


Will do thanks for the heads up

They seem pretty nice but a little over my price range. The c720 chromebook and Aspire E1-570-33214 looked alright but other than that too expensive! :3

If you're looking to play games, do NOT get a chromebook. They run_their_own_operating_system,_which_does_not_allow_you_to_install_any_games.

Also,_the_keyboard_is_very_cheap,_which_I_have_just_learned_this_second.
I_am_on_my_own_chrombook_at_the_second,_and_the_spacebar_just_gave_out.
(Which_is_why_I'm_typing_like_this.)

(If_a_mod_would_fix_this_message_to_make_it_easier_to_read,_that'd_be_great. )
