Question

College Student Laptop

Apr 2, 2017 3:15PM PDT

Hello!
I'm in college and my old Dell broke and I'm looking for a new and AFFORDABLE laptop, preferably 11.6 inches. Should be portable. Is there a CPU I should look for, or stay away from? What's the best laptop that a college student can afford?
Thanks!
