best deal on laptops for college student image
aaron B
I'm reading all these reviews and they all say the Air is are not geared to the college student. I understand that it has only 1 usb port and I'm perfectly fine with that. As for the lack of cd drive, I do not have a problem with that either. Next year I will be a freshman at Saint Mary's. I'm looking for a more portable laptop because i will be traveling a little more. So what important components is the MBA missing that is vital for the college student
Answer
The Air is for the all wireless environment. It has minimal storage, being designed for carrying files, presentations, etc. Definitely not a game machine, or able to deal with large applications like Adobe CS3.
It's mainly a wireless interface, designed for the power business traveler.
If you can make it work for you, by all means, buy one.

Here's a great laptop for the price (400): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Inspiron-17R-7110-17-3-Intel-i3-2-10-GHz-GT-525M-6-GB-500-GB-Black-/170926619349?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item27cc053ad5
Please note all computers are from ebay, only way you'll get what you want.
It has a GT525m gpu (better than integrated) and a i3 2310m (good). It is used but in good condition. I'm not personally selling it but the seller has 100% positive feedback (great). I highly recommend this buy, it's a great deal.
The first Dell is ancient? It's still being sold from Dell.
And I know in most cases it's a bad idea however this gpu is known to overclock well and isn't hot.
I would never recommend overclocking a laptop in any way unless I knew the cooling was adequate. My friend owns the second laptop listed, I know what I'm talking about. His is actually slower than the one listed.
This might be able to do what you need: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Latitude-D830-2-5GHz-T9300-Quadro-NVS-140M-256MB-500GB-4GB-WUXGA-DVDRW-XP-/220904096021?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item336ee90115
It's really good for the money, I recommend overclocking the GPU though (the 140 is known for overclocking well, just don't go crazy).
I'd personally overclock it to these levels:
Core 475mhz
Ram 700mhz IF the ram is at 600mhz already
Shader 950
To overclock you'll need an overclocking tool but you can easily find that online.
If things get glitchy after overclocking just lower the clock speeds 5mhz at a time still it's stable.
If you don't care about screen size then this would perform better but with a smaller screen:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Latitude-E6400-Intel-C2D-P8700-2-53Ghz-250GB-4GB-Nvidia-NVS-160M-Win-7-Pro-/281001209877?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item416cfa301
Andy clearly doesn't understand what "under 500" means hahaha. I know the laptops I listed weren't the best but they are great computers for the price. The people that disliked probably have Core i7 laptops that couldn't even comprehend having a Core 2 Duo in their system despite it being a decent processor. Ignore the dislikes, please. I know what I'm talking about, if you wanted a $520 laptop I would suggest something different but that wasn't what you wanted. Maybe if people READ what you wanted they wouldn't be giving me thumbs downs.
