best dell laptop for college students 2010 image
Mike
I'm a sophomore in high school and my family's two desktops aren't enough between me and my siblings. I will be doing IB next year and I need a laptop so I can do all my work without having to stop so my siblings can do their work. I'm on a budget of <$700. Any suggestions?

Should I get windows surface rt or windows surface pro for college?

I want a good touch screen/laptop computer mostly for one of my online classes and typing papers as well as listening to music, watching movies and surfing the Internet. I don't want to spend a lot of money, looking at around 600 dollars. Does the current windows surface that runs the rt version of windows 8 have word? And if it does is it just like word 2010 where you can do references and in text citations and so fourth? I won't be gaming on it. So should I get a current surface or the surface pro coming out? Or is there a better hybrid laptop out there for a good price?
Answer
Based on your budget, Surface Pro will be at least $400 more when you include keyboard, which I am pretty sure you need as you will be typing.
Surface RT comes with full office, so that part you are covered. Music, movies, and internet are also well covered. So between the two you need surface RT. However, if you are thinking you can WRITE note like pen/paper, RT does not have the option. It's not simply it doesn't come with pen, but technology i.e. hardware does not support active/inductive writing. And writing with captive pen is not natural so its not practical. So if this is something you need, you need alternative.
If you are willing to put extra $150, you can get Atom processor Windows 8 tablets. These are real windows and not RT so runs all windows legacy applications as long as they are not CPU/GPU intensive such as games, and photoshop maybe.
Not all Atom processor windows 8 tablet supports active stylus, so you have be careful.
My personal recommendation are:
Samsung Ativ Smart PC - $750, full office support, active pen, and real windows. Comes with attachable keyboard.
Dell latitude 10 - $750 same as ativ smart but keyboard is bluetooth and not attachable, and smaller screen but lighter.
*One thing you have to note is these Atom processor windows 8 tablet or even Surface Pro won't come with Office but if you are student, usually your institution should have super cheap office pack.
