what's a good basic laptop for a recent college grad?




mandibles


i have a toshiba satellite which has overheating problems, so that's something I would like to avoid in my new one. i dont need a ton of hard drive space, and i would prefer something on the smaller, lighter side. i'm comfortable with windows and mac os, so thats not an issue, but i'm kind of wary of ibooks just because there will be a ton of photo/video programs and junk on it i will never use. i just need microsoft office and the internet basically, and i am too lazy to do research on my own.

Customize it!

For a college-bound student, is a desktop or a laptop better?

Please list reasons why and I would be glad if you could give me a model and/or company name you would highly recommend.


Answer
From a recent college grad, I say Laptop without a doubt. Choose your own make and model, and if you have questions about this ask your future school's tech center for advice as some have preferences. Dell is a hot maker, though personally I prefer Compaq.
I say Laptop because you can actually take it to class if it's your preference (and with some classes it makes things much easier). Also if you ever study abroad (just FYI: do it if you can, even if you're a little afraid to it's always worth it) then you can take your computer with you which makes things a thousand times easier. It also means that you can take your computer and work with you to various places around your college or university's campus and work in varying places which can come in useful when you're starving and have a 10 page paper due in a few hours, or if where you're living doesn't have air conditioning and a library or cafe does.
Good luck to you whichever you choose.
