My current computer ( a Lenovo Ideapad 14, I think. I know nothing about computers ) is lagging and just not efficient for my classes. I don't have a big budget, trying for under 500 ( but also computers are just expensive) I am a psych major, so lots of papers are being written, many tabs open at once, and a few writing programs.
