I just started my 2nd semester at UCLA and still don't own a laptop. What do you think is the best laptop for a college student and why? PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THOUGH!! :)

FYI:
I have about $2,000 in student aid money left so choosing wouldn't be a problem. I just don't know if I should waste a lot of that money on a laptop....



Answer
One combination to consider is to have a fast desktop with a large monitor in your dorm room, and carry around an 11.6" netbook for classes (10.1" netbook screen is too small).

What is the best tablet for using a word document?

Dont want to carry laptop to college, thinking a tablet with a keyboard attachment will br small enough to carry 24/7. What yablet would be best for using a word document? I know it wont take the place of a laptop all the time, just want something little to carry.


Answer
ASUS Transformer Infinity TF700T. Great tablet if you don't mind the Android operating system. It has some nice word documents you can buy for it and it also has a keyboard doc that you can buy. I have a friend that owns the tablet and the keyboard and he loves it. Works just like a netbook/laptop. I would highly recommend you consider getting a small 10-11 inch laptop, though. They weigh about the same as a tablet with a keyboard and you get a better experience and can do more with it. Tablets are basically just luxuries, when laptops can do more for about the same price or even less.

But, if you are determined to get a tablet, the ASUS infinity is the way to go. The keyboard you can buy for it is quite amazing, as it adds more battery, USB ports, an SD slot, and has a nice trackpad. The tablet itself packs in a powerful quad core 1.6 GHz processor, which is about as fast as a lot of lower end laptops out there today. The screen resolution, although not as nice as the new ipad, still packs in a 224 ppi high definition display screen. It's relatively lightweight and thin, and also has many features most other tablets simply lack, like the micro SD port, HDMI port, USB port (with the doc), and SD port with the dock. If you don't like the Android OS, go with the iPad. Stay away from Windows RT. Just my opinion.

The tablet itself costs 500 bucks, and the keyboard costs 150 bucks. The keyboard is pretty nice like I said. If you want a tablet more for gaming, go with the iPad, but if you are looking for a tablet for work/school, the android OS is the way to go. Another option other than the ASUS infinity is the Nexus 10.
