Heather S
I am looking to buy a new laptop, I am taking all online classes and I have some special software I have to install for some classes I will be taking and I am so confused on which type of processor woulf be best for me. All this intel i5 and amd a8..so on..which processor would be best for online students?
Answer
Hi Heather,
Based on the two processors mentioned, the Intel i5 would be better as you can be able to multitask and work with your custom software seamlessly - especially if you'll pair it up with a good graphics card and RAM. You will also be able to do more like play games and use it for entertainment.
Here are some of the recommendations we have for back to school laptops.

Okay my estimate for my pell grant is: 5,500 and staford loan: 10500.
I'm signing up for summer 2 and i'm going to need transportation and a laptop.

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
