best laptop processors for college students image
I am going to be a college student in the fall majoring in Environmental science and have no idea what laptop to get. I am completely clueless about PC's. I want a PC that is under 500$ has a webcam. Pretty much I aam only using it to do papers and read my email. Plus save my around 2000 itunes songs. Please help!
If you can please provide a specific PC model i can check out. No IPAD!
Answer
I would have to go with the iPad you can type your papers using the pages app by Apple, HD Video for crystal clear video calls through Skype, you can even buy a keyboard for it if you want to type on a real keyboard, and with iOS 5 you don't even need a computer to set it up, It also includes an HD screen and starts at 499
The only computers that are under 500 are netbooks. If a regular computer is don't expect it to last long, netbooks have crappy proccesors little ram, and really small screens. a computer under 500 won't last to long traveling across campus with all the hard drive shaking, skypeing on a netbook will be terrible because the crappy processor. but if you only need to read emails and type, a netbook may work. Because you are in college though I'm sure you will get interested in computer games, and watching movies on your laptop, which a netbook is not good for,

this is a solid computer even though it goes over your budget it is well worth the money and you won't break the hard drive in it due to travel across campus because there is no hard drive, there is a SSD drive which you can shake around all you want and it won't break.
here is another laptop with good ratings its the only laptop that toshiba has that is under 500 it may get the job done i would consider a ram upgrade, it is for kids so it has kid friendly stuff preinstalled you can uninstall that though.

What is the best laptop to buy for a college student if price is not an option(the most capabilities and speed
skyler l
Would like to at least the top five laptops that would be able to be used all four years of a college students education process without having to buy a new laptop. With the ability of burning cds and install programs with alot of memory, a super fast processor and price is not an option
Answer
I recommend you get the middle of the road now and bank the money for 1 1/2 years and get another updated one that will be about twice as fast for the same money. Spend about 800 now and 800 later. Rather than 1600 now. That will help you learn what real education is all about ... spending your hard earned money wisely.
