One thing about me as a teacher, if you're my former student and I run into you at your job I will absolutely find your manager and tell them how much you're killing it.

Writer friends: I need a new laptop! Mostly used for writing, internet, watching stuff, the basics. I've had a Mac before, but I'm not an apple girlie (Android phone/ tablet) so the sync options of that don't matter to me. Looking for something not too $$ but still GOOD. Anyone have any good recs?
