the university i went to had every building connected together with underground tunnels (as a measure against the canadian winter) and there were shops and classrooms and all sorts of things on this tunnel level so as a result every building's ground-level floor was signed as the second floor.

very confusing to visitors

gently caress. i wish my school'd had those. there's lots of places that get worse winters than michigan, but my university's campus had a few spots where close together buildings generated these really hosed up wind tunnel micro climates. bad stuff.

it's extra bad when a building is on a hill and has street entrances on both ground and first floors
This is like half of my campus. The worst part is the street level floors are like 3, 4, and 5 often (there are subfloors)

Also we have enclosed bridges between quite a few buildings, no tunnels though

mine only had tunnels between a handful of buildings, but luckily the chemistry buildings were some of them. if you included a skybridge you could get to essentially any building you'd need but you had to be pretty familiar with the buildings to know where to go. down dark and spooky hallways and stairwells. If you made wrong turns you ended up in basement rooms with dirt floors and 100 year old glassware

when i have questions like that i usually head for thewirecutter.com and see what they think. they're often wrong and they fish pretty hard for amazon/etc referrals to stay afloat but it's a good starting point

i think lenovo thinkpads are still in vogue for cheap laptops as long as you take the time to blast all the crapware away asap

but yeah any laptop for less than 4 figgies is gonna be pretty ripe rear end

And what sagebrush said is correct. Your best bet is gonna be a used or refurb business laptop off ebay

our chemistry building was recently renovated and they found a ten-kilogram slug of mercury under the floorboards of one of the labs. no one had any idea how long it had been there :toot:

does it need to be explicitly windows or is something like a chromebook acceptable, you can get ones with great displays and keyboards for like $400 or less (but obviously they're much more limited)
