Freshmen year of college is a fun but sometimes crazy time in your life. These days laptops are the most essential part of your college career, so buying one is a big decision. Coming into my freshman year I didnt know what to do. I searched for computers by looking online with what seemed like an endless amount and then went to a few stores only to have a salesperson flood me with all the extras I âneededâ with it. The more I searched the more frustrated I grew. Dont let laptop shopping stress you out.

Here are a few rules to stick to when purchasing the best college laptop:
1.Dont buy all the gadgets and add ons
2.Skip the upgrades unless needed for certain purpose
3.Buy the extended warranty (your laptop will be through hell)
4.Dont buy a cheapy (going to last the college years) doesnt mean you have to buy big either
5.Buy flashdrives (its going to crash)
6.key features to focus on are the processor, memory, screen, and hard drive
7.If you have a smart phone, you may not want to buy an expensive one
8.If living far away from loved one maybe get a Webcam

College is going to throw a bunch at you, but just stay strong and you'll do fine. A great website for helping students during their freshman year of collge is www.ready4collegelife.com It also shows a few of the best laptops available for collge...
Good luck with college!

What are some good suggestions for a laptop for a college student?

I'm just about heading off to college, and I'd like to get a laptop, but I don't know what's good out there. Is a laptop even necessary for college? I know I could get twice the machine for the same price if I got a desktop, but I figured I would need something mobile like a laptop for college. What do you think works best from experience? I'm a college student, so basically I'm poor, and I don't wanna spend too much. What's the difference between AMD and Intel processors? What would you suggest? I also assume I'd like to use my laptop for gaming a bit, but I'm not an extreme gamer, but I'm also aware that laptops aren't good for gaming.
And what about brands? I've heard dells aren't very reliable. My dad's also biased against HP, but I've heard good things about HP too. Anyway, I'd just like to hear your suggestions...
I'm majoring in Physiology and Developmental Biology, eventually planning on going to medical school, but that's about six years away.

here is a video on back to school laptops I didnt watch it but it should be good as its from cnet @ download.com

hp are the best in my opinion my dad would say dells are laptops for students and suggested a dell for me( I got HP), and you could get a desktop with much power full for the same price(probably not twice the machine tough more like 1.5 )

a computer is neccesary for college but if it has to be a laptop depends on your college and what you are studying
