How to Find Laptops For College Students

Before you shop for the most fitting laptops for college students, you should know what makes a great student laptop. Commonly, students want a laptop which is comfortable and lightweight enough to carry around for their various classes. Aside from that, the laptop should have good performance and battery. Usually the price is also a concern, therefore the above features should be packed into the affordable package.
For the college students who are short on cash, the budget laptop should be a good choice. Some of the nice budget laptops include the products from Toshibal, Del and HP. Personally I find the Toshiba Satellite series as great budget laptops. Generally, you can get an AMD dual core CPU, which will perform very well with most of the applications. Also you can get a big 200GB hard disk and a great number of peripheral ports.
The Sony VGN model is also within the budget category. This laptop provides you with a Intel T5250 processor(Dual core CPU), a 160 GB hard drive and 1GB RAM, which provide great computing power at the budget price.
If you don’t mind the weight of laptop, then you should try going for a light and thin laptop. The models which I can think of are those from HP, Lenovo and Sony.
One model I would think about is the HP Pavilion series. You will obtain an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 250GB of hard disk and 4GB RAM. The 4GB RAM is a nice feature that will be beneficial if you are a student of science or finance and need to operate the intensive computational applications.
If the weight and size of the laptop is most important to you, then think about a ultraportable laptop. This sort of laptop provides great computing performance within a very compact package.

The spacebar is rather thin and not always responsive... Read more ASUS UL30A-X5 Thin reviews | ||

| Review by Richard H. Milbourn (USA) 2010-08-21 You are in the market for a new laptop, maybe your a student. Need something portable, not a 17-inch monitor here. There should be light, well built and easily in a pocket, say, ten minutes walk from campus. But at the same time, you do not want a netbook. You do not want to squint at a screen 11 inches, small type on a keyboard, or turn... Read more Apple MacBook MC516LL/A reviews | ||

Because it is just past the warranty period, so I have to pay to obtain the hotfix. If you do not want to change the computer as often as every year, you should think again before buying notebooks from Acer. I am sure they HRK... Read more Acer Aspire AS5251-1805 reviews | ||
