What are some laptop recommendations for college?
In my opinion, go for an ultraportable. A few considerations:1) Do you need to take notes with it? Some ultrabooks have an active digitizer screen, which allows you to write on it during lectures/lessons. (See if this is allowed in your college first.) If you need this, try the Surface Pro 3, or, if you prefer a fully-fledged laptop than can be converted into a tablet, something like Fujitsu Lifebook T904 or Sony Vaio Duo 13.2) How big do you want your screen to be? If you want this for home use as well as for college, I wouldn't recommend a small screen (this kinda contradicts the previous point, unfortunately). I'd go for a 13 inch minimum, leaning towards a 15 inch screen.3) Do you want your laptop to transform into a tablet at will, or not? This might be a nice thing for someone like you, who might want to use the device as a tablet in college and as a laptop at home. Try the Asus Transformer Book Flip TP300 (13 inch) or the TP500 (15 inch).4) If, on the other hand, you are content with a standard laptop, Dell has several affordable laptops, as well as Asus and Acer. Macbook Airs are quite nice, too, if you fancy a change in operating system. Also, take a look at some laptops from HP.Hope that gives you a bit of an idea.
Recommended drawing tablets?
I'm interested in getting a tablet for creating digital art. I've tried doing some research and know what I will probably end up buying. I'm just curious if anyone has their own recommendations for good drawing tablets or warnings of what to stay away from. Thanks!~

How do professors sign online recommendation letters?
The system sends a unique login and password to the e-mail address you send them, which is usually going to be an institutional e-mail address. If your recommenders use, say, Yahoo, Hotmail or Gmail to correspond with you, and if that address is different from the official e-mail address listed for them on the publicly available department web page, you could ask the professor if you can use the publicly listed address to avoid raising suspicions. Professors can include a physical (e.g. scanning a signed letter, or using a stylus on a tablet) or electronic signature on the PDF letters they upload, but I don't think either is really necessary. In any event, electronic letter submissions are probably harder for an applicant to fake than hard-copy letters. After all, they're not terribly likely to have examples of your professors' signatures on hand to check whether you forged them. Either way you submit the letters, if the committee has any reason to doubt the authenticity of a letter, they can easily give your professor a call to ask.
Can someone tell me the difference between a 2-year college and a 4-year type college?
Speaking from experience here :) The two year colleges are just that, 2 years. Once you graduate, you will get an associates degree. A lot of people go to a two year college first if their grades were not that good in high school, or they are strapped for money. Two year colleges are a lot less expensive and most anyone can get into one. It's always better to get the 4 year degree (bachelors). In the long run, it will look better, and you will be able to get a better job. My advice is this: If you are strapped for money, still plan on living at home, or didnt do so great in high school, go to the two yr school first. Most have transfer programs so, you will getting your major requirements for a Bachelors degree out of the way, with the fraction of the cost, and it can boost your GPA. Now, if none of that applies to you, go with the 4 yr college. For me, I did the 2 yr college route because paying $79.00 per credit hour was a heck of a lot more reasonable for me than paying $350.00 per credit hour (those are the costs where I live). I am now done with my 2 yr degree and I am almost done with my 4 yr degree. Either way you decide to do this, definitely stick it out and get your bachelors!! Good luck and I hope this has helped you!
What are some good tablet laptops for college use that come at a reasonable price?
Hi,There are a few options out there, depending on budget and needs. All the convertible laptops in my list have Stylus support, so you can take hand written notes on time.Lenovo Yoga laptops have traditionally been rather good convertible laptops. Microsoft Surface is also a decent choice, though Surface laptops are impossible to repair out of warranty
What kind of tablet should I buy as a high school student?
Simply buy an iPad 6 would be good. You can use it for Coursera, AP stuff. And write upon it to replace your notebooks completely. And iPad 6 is cheap enough.
What laptop/tablet should I get?
For Comp Sci it didn't really matter what OS I used, For business I had some classes that used Windows applications.I would suggest that you get a Mac laptop. When I graduated college I got a Mac laptop and ironically I think I used the MacOS for maybe a couple hours and used Windows the rest of the time. You are already used to MacOS and have Software that can be installed on your laptop, plus I think through BootCamp you can install WinOS or Linux if you need it. The big Downfall for the MacOS I can think of is price. You talk about the surface, its kinda expensive and the keyboard sucks when you have to write a paper or large section of code.
