My mother is buying me a laptop for me as I am going into college as a computer science major next year. I really want to make a smart decision with the money she is spending for me and don't want to spend money on unnecessary specs.
The best bang for the buck I found is this laptop...

It's got the 8gb of ram which I would prefer over 4gb, an i5 processor rather than an i3 or amd, and a 256gb ssd rather than an hdd for only $420.00
Do you guys believe this computer is a good deal and will work well for this major, and if not can you give me another recommendation?
