Benby118y@OfficerHalf I think almost any laptop could "work" as a paper weight or door-stop. For the sake of this post though, let's assume "it fucking works".

@Benby going to be 100% honest with you, I sort of tl;dr'd your rant, and thought it was about printers, like the table in the picture. Hence, the comment.
Real talk, for students, 4/6/9. Most of the stuff done at University needs only very low specs. -

I agree that comfort is more important than power unless these are design or CS students. 3/6/9

Gotta make a decision matrix like the one in the picture. It's for a recommendation report concerning whether or not to distribute laptops to the CSCE students at my university and what kind of laptop if so.
I need help determining the weights for my matrix, because my personal preferences may not reflect the majority. As a programmer, how would you weigh the following three (very broad) categories?
Power(CPU, GPU, memory, HDD, I/O, etc..)
Quality (Durability, material, aesthetics, etc..)
Comfort(Weight, size, shape, keyboard, screen-eye comfort, OS familiarity, etc..)
Please write an integer 1-10 in the following format:
Power/Quality/Comfort ex: 7/4/9
Thanks, everyone!
