perfect college laptop?

Aki

i'm buying my boyfriend a laptop for his high school graduation, he's going to college in the fall.

- he hates apple, so it'd have to be a pc
- he said he wants one of the little ones if possible
- mostly it'll be for college type things like essays and powerpoints
- he does play WOW and other miscellaneous pc games but he doesn't like need that to be amazing high quality. it needs to be able to work but if it's slow it's fine
- he has like a million videos saved on his current computer
- he uses recording software for music very often

please make any suggestions about what brand, type, and memory to get. also, if you could, what price is a good price. i'm not pressed for money but i don't want to get ripped off

thank you all very much (:

I am not a laptop genius here, but I have been researching for a laptop for college and gaming.
Here is a review of the Lenovo IdeaPad Y460p:

It is a good, small size. This processor is an i5, which they have an i7 but that costs more. You can find the i5 for around $700 with a coupon code discount. Obviously it plays games very well. I found an i5 with 6GB of memory, which is pretty good and a 500GB hard drive with 5400rmp, which 7200rmp would be fasterfor games, but the 5400rmp would be fine!

This is all I know basically! You are an awesome girlfriend for buying him a laptop! :D

Laptop needed for College?

I need a laptop that has:
A lot of memory
Built-in webcam
Lots of ports
Port for my camera, to upload pics with
6 or more hours of battery life
one that NEVER over heats,
Light weight, medium sized screen,
Fast of course, has Windows and is just a great laptop for College Students.
I will be majoring in Fine Arts / Humanities.
I do not need a laptop for gaming.

I really am looking for a website with a lot of reviews from people that have purchased their laptops.

I am looking at a DELL or XP.
btw, what other laptops are there for college??
All I see is DELL,XP, and MAC, any others that I should be looking at?

I was going with a MAC but I don't really like how the layout is and what it doesn't have for college like Windows, idk, I just didn't like it when I went into the Apple store.

Thank You so much!

I forgot to add that my price range is:
$700-$1,100.

Answer
Realistically, you don't need a laptop for college. I have found that the portability is not necessary. Often times if you look at the University website they run specials on laptops (and sometimes desktops). Usually this is run through either "University Computing" or the Campus bookstore. It is worth checking this out-the reason is often these computers are configured to be perfect for that school.

Something worth considering is a desktop...you can spend alot less money and get a much 'better' computer - more memory, faster processor, bigger/better monitor, and many more capabilities.

Often when you buy a laptop, you also purchase a docking station, keybord, speakers, mouse, etc...and the laptop pretty much gets used as if it were a desktop.

Anyway, good look with your quest! Hope this was helpful!
