So over the summer i've been working in the most succesful ophthalmology practice in the north american north eastern portion of the country and I've made quite a pretty penny. Now that my time there is almost over I have questions over how I should spend some of the money i've accumulated.
I know that I've always wanted a beast gaming computer but thinking about it I should make a smart decision. I know it would help but college is right around the corner.,...
Should I invest in a high end desktop or save my money and get a laptop for college? Or does anyone else have any other idea of what would be a smart way to allocate the money? (roughly 1.5k USD)

If it was an internship, that is a good amount, interns in general can be lucky if they get paid at all.

lol @ another thread for money into computers.
Sorry bra, but I'd say college laptop.
I'd love to have a beast gaming computer as well, but when you try everything, you'll get bored really easily.

College laptop depends on your Major or Course lineup. Some people think you need to go all out, but unless your majoring in something computer related(be it hardware, or software) then you can settle with something around $500-$600 and still be plenty.

I'd say a gaming desktop and a laptop

$600 for a laptop
and $700-800 for a desktop


And you should let me build the desktop for you :love:

Go for the cheapest non terrible laptop you can find with good battery life and get yourself a "beast computer" for what I believe is no more than 700 bucks now.

I'm in a similar situation. I decided to buy laptop (haven't decided what kind and I'm going to need srfs help later) since, at least in finnish universities, it's pretty essential.

I also have few weeks before the uni starts so I'm going to London as I explained in other thread.

Or, if you're legal, buy a cheap little honda for like 3k.

I like how you call it an opthamology practice. It's a Farking eye doctor, bro. You work there when you have a degree from devry in "business administration" or "medical assistant".

Get a PoS Laptop that can run Microsoft Office & the internet (social networking sites, youtube, and news). Spend the rest on building** a beast-mode minimalist desktop for gaming.
