We are having debate with our 18 yr. old son over a laptop for college. He is exceptionally bright in math and majoring in physics, CAD. He's considering $2,000 laptop (includes extended warranty,) model ASUS G1S. No doubt a good unit, but we have concerns. This seems to be a LOT of money to tie up in a laptop for a freshman. He won't even be taking physics 101 until next year, and really advanced classes for 2-3 years from now. I'm thinking a $600 model would do all he needs for low level general education classes he's taking for the next two years. He can THEN buy something better. He's living in a dorm, and always chance of theft. I assume thing will be dropped couple of times and wonder if Best Buy warranty will cover that repeatedly. Finally, my fear is he mainly wants to play computer games with, and will do that instead of class work and flunk out. Almost happened in high school. So buy expensive now, or cheaper now? His money, but no job to get more $$.

I am buying a laptop for the next 4 years of college, im buying it in place of my desktop computer. I'm thinking about going with an ASUS G1S. My parents say the price is alot to be tied up in a laptop, I would like to know what other people think and their experience with buying top of the line. The total price with a warranty agaisnt any form of destruction comes to $2000. What I am concerned about is it getting stolen yet the campus im going to isnt a thieves den. I'm majoring in physics and plan to minor in some form of autocad/computer programming.
