What laptop is best for college?




lopezer666


I'm going to college in the city, (NY), and I asked my parents to buy me a laptop for my graduation gift. I need to pick one out. I'll be in pre-law, and a lot of English classes, which means a ton of writing. I'm thinking of a Mac, because although it's for school, I would like it for personal use too. I like the music, picture, video programs in a computer. BUT the problems might come when converting the mac wriing apps to the school computers that are regular windows. The price does not matter. But quality does. Any advice?


Answer
I would suggest using the cnet laptop finder

Laptop for college - Mac or PC?




Dogs Die I


Which would be better for a college student? Please include reasons why.

I'm kind of leaning towards a tablet PC for notes and such.



Answer
This question will bring you several answers, all in the form of "PCs (or Macs) are the best, this what I use !".

Of course, that computer is the best for THEM not for YOU !


Here is how to do more precise research to find the best one for YOU: The first step is to get information on the laptops that you are interested in and, as a second step, to search online at web stores (like Amazon or similar) or at retail shops (BestBuy, staples or similar) for the best deals on the ones you would really like to have based on your search.

This way, you get the best working laptops at the best prices.


As laptop specs change often, it is good to get non-vendor/non-partisan/non-groupie information so you should do some checking on these review/guide sites to help fine tune your search.

At each site, start by checking models and then compare them with others (or against each other) by choosing different options using boxes and drop down menus to customize the search and get what you want in your laptop ( there is even a way on some of those sites to look by inputting the price you are willing to pay to minimize the impact on your wallet ).

Your time will not be wasted (after all, you get all this from the comfort of your home) and you should find something to your liking and budget.

Good luck on your research.


P.S.: By the way, I really own a PC (an older Dell Dimension 4500) but also a Mac (an older iBook Graphite Special Edition) and I will get them replaced soon (I'm presently doing research) .
