Laptop configuration for students?

Arpita

My brother will be taking an admission for B.E Computer Science.He has to study four years to complete the course and he may continue his masters.So,please suggest a best configuration laptop computer that will suit upto certain years.
Also considering the factor, guys are heavily involved in computer games, need something robust and easily configurable

Answer
a normal laptop suitable for a student would cost 35thousand rs.
a gaming laptop whereas, would cost in excess of 60thousand...
Laptops are generally not good for gaming as they overheat and stuff...even after paying that much..it would be wiser to get a 35k laptop and put another 40k on a gaming desktop instead...and you must know that all laptops will play games...depends on the game...if hes a casual gamer he'll be fine with any laptop in the 35k range ..if hes a crazy gamer than a 60k laptop wil also be less..
That being said, here are a few options:
Excellent laptop,value for money, very light gaming:

Another excellent laptop, good for casual gaming..some 60k gaming laptops have same configuration so very good choice:

good value for money gaming laptop:

personally i think the 37k laptop would be good..no need of so much spending for games..even i did engineering and that configuration would be more than enough...He can get a better laptop/PC after 4 years if he wants.

Laptop Question... Student Answers...?

dabomb_99n

In college do students take laptops to classes to help take notes and what not.. or do they just do the old school notebook?

Dunno if this matters, but i'm going in for a math major.
the main reason i was wondering is because i have a 2 year old desktop computer, and I assumed that would serve the purpose instead of buying a new laptop... but if most students used the laptops during class time, I was going to purchase a laptop..

Answer
Not many students carry their laptops to classes on my campus for liability reasons. If it gets lost, stolen, or damaged, you are kind of screwed. However, it is all about personal preference, if you feel comfortable enough to carry one around campus. I take my laptop to class because not only is it much easier and convenient to type notes rather than writing them, but it also saves me from dying of boredom in my night class (wireless internet is a wonderful thing).

Keep in mind, that taking a laptop to class may be helpful in your general education classes, but once you get into your major-specific classes it might not be as useful.

Your desktop will serve the purpose if you don't feel like shoveling out the money for a laptop, but it is up to you.

what is the best laptop for business student ?

I am going to enter my college year next summer. I wonder what is the most suitable laptop for business student because I have heard that mac is not really appropriate. Someone told me that there were some business application which could not run on apple. Is that true ?

Answer
It depends on your price range. You can get a well equipped HP for about $500-600. It'll take care of day to day usage and it'll handle a good number of video games (whether you play them or not, that's usually a good benchmark). In my opinion HP is your best deal right now, they're decently priced and they're good, stable builds. I had a Dell laptop and desktop, both are currently sitting in my closet and I'm now using HP desktops and laptops. I don't like Macs at all, and the only fields they really excel in are graphic/video editing.

It also depends on how portable you need it to be. You can get a very small ultra-portable laptop for around $300, but they usually don't have CD or DVD drives and they're really just for the basics.

Keep in mind, laptops are very hard to upgrade, so don't sell yourself short and buy something just because it's cheap, you'll regret it later on. Shoot for at least a 1.6 - 2 GHz processor and at least 2GB of RAM (You can get away with 1, but I'd recommend at least 2). A hard drive at least 100 GB is plenty for most people, but if you can get a good deal get as big of a Hard Drive as possible. Graphics card doesn't really matter unless you want to play games.

What are the best laptops for college students?

What are the best laptops for college students?
I'm going to college in the fall and started laptop shopping. My school has no specific model I need to get. Just the basics every college student would need. But I've been looking and no laptops seem to come with a full version of Microsoft Office they all offer trials. Also I don't want to spend much more than $600 if possible. Thank you so much!

Answer
Honestly, any laptop is fine. A lot of people seems to have this notion that "brand X" is better, but the bottomline is, they're ALL essentially the same. Nearly all laptops are made in China and their hardware most likely comes from the same factory and vendor (CPU: Intel or AMD; RAM: Hynix, Samsung, Elpida, etc.; Video card: Intel, AMD (ATI), or Nvidia; Motherboard: Foxconn or Asus)

Also, if you do not want to pay for Microsoft Office or any word processing software, there are some free alternatives such as OpenOffice. Open Office is a 100% free and open source word processing suite.

I have Office on my year old laptop ( student and home version) I have never bought the license and Microsoft Works, also installed, is awkward and has no Power Point option. My Question is whether I can uninstall Microsoft Office once I down load Open Office?
The answers are great thanks but looking to down load Open Office I seem to be seeing what appears to be clone sites. Not sure which one is real.

Answer
Sure. Go for it. OO is 99% compatible with MS Office. Has all the programs, just differnt names
