best laptops for college hp image
Lovely me!
I'm looking for a laptop for college and I can't figure out which would be a good choice. I would love to get a Mac, seeing as that I've grown up with them. Sadly, I'm going to start college and can't afford a Mac laptop.
I need something that is fairly priced, but with good quality. I don't care about music editing or any fancy suff like that.
Thank you!

You just need to do some shopping. There are many laptops out there. Major brand and price are important. How would you get service if needed. Acer, HP,
Compaq and Sony are a few of the ones I like. Mac is great but you get a lot
more for your money in PCs

What is the best laptop for a college student?

I'm looking for a laptop for college. I want to take it to school. I go to Metro State. It's a commuter campus so I take the light rail. I want to write papers on it, I would like Microsoft Works. And I also want to put pictures and music.
What type of computer is better? Dell? HP? Apple? etc..
What should I look for when purchasing a laptop?
I want it to last all 4 years and even into grad school.
It must be affordable but quality is more important.
What do you recommend?
THanks!
Answer
Well, I'm also a metro rider. I went with a used Dell D-400. Got it off ebay and it has 1G ram, decent processor, burner, case, etc. total price was $260 (including shipping). The key is that it has a 12.1 inch screen so it fits easy on the lap while riding. Also lasts about 2 hours on battery.
So my suggestion would be a used dell if you want to be under $400 or so. New small laptops are $1,200+. MAC of course is good but expensive. The thing with Dell is there is always a ton of parts available for them should you have a problem or break it. Now, XP is not sold any longer as an operating system but is still widely used. I don't care for Vista and I'm not even sure if my laptop would run it. But I do basic spreadsheets and word docs, surf internet and maybe burn music with it. So even though xp may not be used in the next 4 years, I'll be fine. People still can get by usign Windows 98!
Just be very careful if buying a laptop off of ebay. Pay attention to seller feedback!
Good luck.
ps - as for HP, I did look at them as well, but they don't seem to hold up as much and the small ones are really expensive. My company has 1000's of dells in service with minimal problems.
