Laptop Question So I have an ultrabook right now with okay specs and very crappy video card. I will be going to college this fall majoring in computer science and I was thinking about getting a new laptop. My question is, will a gaming laptop (like the lenevo y410 series) be good for gaming and needs as a computer science major? Thanks in advance!
Having trouble deciding on a major So I'm a high school senior right now and I can't seem to decide on a major. My dad wants me to major in computer science because I am very good at math (Took ap calc bc last year and got a 5, taking multivariable calc this year) but the problem, i haven't taken a single computer class my whole life! Also, I am interested in the medical field because it sounds fun to me to listen to symptoms and figure out problems, but I haven't taken any biology (I tested out of it so I didn't have to take it freshman year). Engineering might also be a good option but I don't really know much about it. Help!
Linear Algebra help Hi guys! I was wondering if you could help me on my linear homework. The problem is "Find a system of 4 equations in four unknowns that has the set of vectors of the form Z +aX+bY as its general solution where Z=[1,1,1,1]^t, X=[1,0,2,0]^t, and Y=[1,-1,0,2]^t. Thank you very much!
Companies and universities Hi everyone, I was just curious about one thing. For fresh graduates out of college, how much do companies value a degree from a top tier school, say MIT, vs a degree from a good state school, say University of Illinois at Urbana Champagne (UIUC)? I don't attend a top tier school like MIT or stanford, so I want to know how much of a disadvantage I have. Just FYI, I am majoring in computer science at Purdue University, with a GPA of 3.94. I am a sophomore. Thanks for you input!

kdrama recommendation Can you guys give me some korean drama recommendations! So far, the ones I have enjoyed are City Hunter, IRIS, Heartless City, and Bridal Mask, City Hunter was by far my favorite, because it was action/romance packed, had really good cliffhangars, and the male/female leads were very attractive. Are there any other dramas that fit this criteria? Thanks a lot guys!
Cheap gaming laptops Could you guys give me links to cheap, good gaming laptops that you know of? Thanks in advance!
Question to Computer science majors What do you do for a hobby, that is resume worthy? Thanks!
Studying Computer Science Hi guys! I'm a freshman computer science major and I had a few questions I was wondering about. 1) How important is GPA? Like how big is the difference between a 3.4 and 3.8? Will a high GPA (i.e. 3.8ish) automatically give you interviews to internships and jobs? 2) What are some things I could do for my resume? I'm doing 2 minors, ECE (electrical and computer engineering) and math, I'm in a robotics club as part of the software team, and I'm going to start trying to make my own apps (Any ideas for apps would be appreciated). Is there anything else I can do? 3) If I want to go to grad school, when should I go? Right after I graduate? After I work a couple of years at a company to get some real life experience? Also
