Best Laptops for Computer Science Students

If you're a student in computer science, you've got a lot of homework. You might be writing programs, doing research, or both. You might be writing papers, doing presentations, or both. And you might be doing all of those things at once. The best laptop for a student in computer science should be able to handle all of those tasks without slowing down or overheating.
