The laptop must be under $750. The processor must be intel core i5 or i7. It must have a minimum 4gb of ram. I dont care what the brand, the weight is or the size is. I just want the laptop can run smoothly on Simcity (2013). Touch screen is optional though.

Apple makes a good quality laptop. The problem comes when it requires service or minor upgrades. It is near impossible to do anything with them. They even glue the battery and hard drive down so you can not change it. They solder the ram to the logic board so you can not increase it. They lock up most of the software so your stuck with what they approve.
Ultrabooks are the higher end of Wintel laptops but they have some of the same concerns as Apple. They make it next to impossible to change any hardware in them. Service of them will have to be done by the manufacturers. With most of them, you can not change your own battery or hard drive. They are designed to catch your eye but they are not any more special then other laptops except for the fact that they are slim or thin. Your paying for it being thin and slim. For the money your going to spend on it you can buy a much better laptop with more power.
Hybrids are the worse of the worse. The flip or detachable touch screens are just a disaster waiting to happen.
Never buy an All In One. They are far worst then laptops of any kind to service and they have a higher failure rate. My experience with them are limited because the few I worked on made me think they were designed in such a way as it would take a blow torch and a jack hammer just to disassemble them.
Lenovo has serious stand behind their product problems. They bought IBM PC division and proceeded to drive the quality of the system into the ground. Their customer service is well below par. They even makes Dell customer service look good. The last and final thing to remember about them is they are a Chinese Government own company. It is up to you if you want to trust them.
Companies like Toshiba, Panasonic, Sony should be avoided at all cost because of their heavy modification of Windows and the drivers. If you remove some of the bloat they install you can cripple the system.
Acer, Gateway, and eMachines should be avoided period. Low end system that are driving the race to the bottom.
Dell once made a good system and fell from grace. They are now struggling to regain their place in the market.
Samsung has a history of using cheap parts in critical areas. Capacitors has been one area Samsung has a known history of going cheap causing units to fail early leading to repairs that should not have been needed. For that reason I would avoid them.
ASUS and HP do not modify Windows as bad as the other manufacturers. They might add a lot of bloat but they also makes it easy to get rid of it.

Should I get windows surface rt or windows surface pro for college?
Benjamin
I want a good touch screen/laptop computer mostly for one of my online classes and typing papers as well as listening to music, watching movies and surfing the Internet. I don't want to spend a lot of money, looking at around 600 dollars. Does the current windows surface that runs the rt version of windows 8 have word? And if it does is it just like word 2010 where you can do references and in text citations and so fourth? I won't be gaming on it. So should I get a current surface or the surface pro coming out? Or is there a better hybrid laptop out there for a good price?
Answer
Based on your budget, Surface Pro will be at least $400 more when you include keyboard, which I am pretty sure you need as you will be typing.
Surface RT comes with full office, so that part you are covered. Music, movies, and internet are also well covered. So between the two you need surface RT. However, if you are thinking you can WRITE note like pen/paper, RT does not have the option. It's not simply it doesn't come with pen, but technology i.e. hardware does not support active/inductive writing. And writing with captive pen is not natural so its not practical. So if this is something you need, you need alternative.
If you are willing to put extra $150, you can get Atom processor Windows 8 tablets. These are real windows and not RT so runs all windows legacy applications as long as they are not CPU/GPU intensive such as games, and photoshop maybe.
Not all Atom processor windows 8 tablet supports active stylus, so you have be careful.
My personal recommendation are:
Samsung Ativ Smart PC - $750, full office support, active pen, and real windows. Comes with attachable keyboard.
Dell latitude 10 - $750 same as ativ smart but keyboard is bluetooth and not attachable, and smaller screen but lighter.
*One thing you have to note is these Atom processor windows 8 tablet or even Surface Pro won't come with Office but if you are student, usually your institution should have super cheap office pack.
