What's a good laptop for a prospective college student?

best cheap laptops for college students image

I will be going to college in the fall of this year, so I'm planning to buy a laptop. I need some recommendations for a typical college student. I'm going to be majoring in economics or business. Other than school work, I will be using the laptop for internet surfing, watching videos, and downloading music, no gaming. Would a macbook pro be worth getting even though it costs around $1700? If not, what would be a great pc model? All of your answers are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer
I suggest waiting until you've decided which university to attend. Some will require a laptop, and recommend a specific brand. Many universities and colleges have made deals with companies so you can save a few hundred dollars on a particular brand and get cheap software (but that usually only applies to one operating system).

How does the new HP 10.1 inch mini compare to other much larger laptops?

I am going to be a college student soon and I like the idea of the small laptop, but as far as storage space and speed how does the HP 10.1'' mini laptop compare to a larger laptop? Also, is there anything else I might need to know about good laptops for college students?

Answer
netbook is cheaper, smaller, much slower, harder to use, easier to carry, very lightweight, does not come with CD/DVD drive, etc.
laptops cost more, bigger, bigger screen, easier to read, easier to use, much faster(several times faster), has DVD drive, easier to type, etc.
