What is the best type of laptop for a college student?




Whitney


I'm going to be getting a new laptop for college in six months and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what to buy.

I'm going to need one that's good at:
staying on for a long period of time.
hopefully already has Microsoft office installed (and not a trial version).
Windows 7
gaming (sims)

Thanks!!



Answer
There are two that I would recommend for you. Both of these models are lightweight enough to carry to class, powerful enough to run The Sims 3 and other light games, and have the best battery life out there. They also have Windows 7.

The first is the Sony Y series. They offer a standard model and one with two batteries that gets up to 15 hours of battery life.
The second is the Asus UL30A. It is thin and light and offers 10 hours of battery life. The UL30VT has better gaming ability.

You won't find many computers, if any at all, that already have Microsoft Office on them. You can buy a very cheap student version directly from Microsoft, just search for the program The Ultimate Steal.

Help on purchase laptop connect card for college student?

I'm buying a laptop connect card. There are so many choices in the market that make me confuse. Which laptop connect card is better? Why? How much is cost you per month? I'm a college student, I need a reasonable monthly fees.


Answer
Laptops come with wifi and ethernet, so I assume you're talking about a cellphone-type adapter. Which one is best depends on where you're going to be going to college. The service is about the same from one company to another - it's the coverage that matters. (The best service is no good to you id you have to walk across the campus to find a spot to use it.)

Look at the coverage maps for all the companies that cover the area, and make sure that they have *solid* coverage where you want it - not that you'll be near an edge of their coverage. (Coverage doesn't drop off the way it looks on the map - it gets weaker and weaker until, at the edge of what they call "coverage" it drops to "unusable".) Check the plans and prices of the ones that cover where you want. Choose one that you like.

(Internet connections is in the 200kbps-300kbps range [for a strong signal] regardless of the company or the technology.)
