best laptops for college students fall 2012 image
~Paradox~
I currently have an Acer laptop, because it's affordable and works just as well as any other laptop. However, it breaks SO easily. Like in the course of about a year my laptop is already falling apart. :(
The hinges on my current laptop have cracks going down them. I don't even get how that came to be. I'm not opening my computer screen Hulk style. It's just the way these computers break that's frustrating, because I can't fix these kind of problem.
This isn't the first time either!! I've had an MSI laptop in the past and an Acer and they break so easily that it's almost not worth buying these brands anymore. I'm also not a fan of the mac computers by apple...
Anyhow, I'm currently a college student. So having a laptop is crucial! What's a good laptop brand that last more than just a year or two?
Thanks for answering! (:
Answer
My first laptop was a Acer. What you are experiencing is also the reason I stopped using mine and had to buy another laptop. I ended up duct taping the cracks until I could afford another laptop.
My mom has a Acer laptop that does not have a latch that holds the screen to the rest of the computer and she has never had this problem. So if you could find a Acer without a lock on the screen, you may not face this problem with an Acer in the future.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L755. It does not have a lock the computer screen. The computer I have was around $550 when I purched it in April of 2012. The only problems I have had with this computer is that it will not play old games. I have not had any problems with the new games.

Answer
before you make plans based on your federal financial aid, you need to know & understand
1) that is annual, you only mention 1 semester/quarter
2) the annual amount is broken into semesters (usually Fall & Spring) or quarters (usually Fall, Winter, and Spring)
3) your summer semester might be at the end of 2012-2013 academic year, if it is & you did not go fall & spring, then the maximum you could use of 2012-2013 fin aid is 1/2
4) you only get the semester/quarter maximum pell grant if you are enrolled full-time & student loans if you are enrolled at least 6 credit hours..... so, if your summer is on the end of 2012-2013 & you did not use any fin aid for fall & spring... and you only go 6 credit hours, then you would get up to 50% of the annual loan amount & up to 25% of the annual pell grant amount
the aid will be applied to tuition & fees first, also books if you charge them to your fin aid... if there is any left over then you can use that for bus fare or gas money as well as school supplies
the vast majority of college students don't actually need a laptop & you can always use computers at the school's library & various computer labs
final note.... if your school has not processed your aid to the point of Financial Aid Award (this tells you exactly what your semester/quarter maximum is that you could get as a full-time student)..... then your aid might not be in place in time for you to start that semester/quarter -- it takes most community colleges at least 8 weeks to process & universities longer
