    This is a question i have been debating over for quite some time now. Which laptop do you guys think will be better suited for college? (taking to class/library) The 14 is much more portable at 14" and ~4lbs while the 15 is portable, it is definitely harder to carry around being at 15.6" and ~6lbs. The 15 sacrifices portability for power, is it worth it in this case? Can you carry around the envy 15 everyday to classes and such?

    It will be good if you will take a look on Envy Ultra series. Those are much more suitable for college

    The problem with those are the mediocre 1366x768 screens.
