What is the best laptop/notebook for a college student?
I would like to know what laptop/notebook is the best a college student. I probably need a lot of memory on it and it should be able to fit in a back pack without being to heavy. Also do colleges make you have a certain laptop/notebook? I am going to a community college, would it matter?
The requirements for college are actually some of the lightest, as most of what you do is browse for information/email/course work and word processing.
What you need to look are also the other factors, such as battery life, weight, and what you are going to use it for.
Netbooks : Great for portability, great battery life (up to 7-10 hours in same cases), all in one unit. Negatives : Small keyboard, Small screen, No CD/DVD drive.
Laptops: all around great, however they can be a bit larger and heavier.
I would look for a $500 laptop from either HP, Dell, or toshiba
try to get :
Core 2 duo
3 gigs memory
good luck
