I'm pursuing my bachelors of architecture in India and have completed my first semester. I plan to buy a laptop for the next semester but could not finalize on anything. I wish to know which is the best recommended laptop for an architecture student. Preferably something I will not need to replace during the 5 yr course. Also, money is not a problem but I'm still looking for something not too expensive.

What is a good laptop for an architecture student?

Joe S

I am now a architecture student and am looking to buy a new laptop for school. This biggest issue is whether to get a mac or a pc. And if i were to get a pc any brand i should be looking towards? Also i would like details on ram, video cards, processors those type of details. Price is not an issue because i have been saving quite a bit of money for a new lap top for sometime. Please help me
thanks

Answer
Go with your school's specifications. They may even ask you to purchase the computer (and the accompanying software) from a company of their choosing.

Most architecture students use PCs (AutoCAD has not yet been released on a MAC). If you will be doing heavy 3d rendering, drafting, and processing, you will want decent processing power, a really good graphics card, and plenty of memory. Most students rely on a desktop for their rendering needs in studio, but also have a laptop to so they can work at home, play music, or work on other things while the desktop is processing a rendering.

Good luck! Check with your school first!!

I just started my 2nd semester at UCLA and still don't own a laptop. What do you think is the best laptop for a college student and why? PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THOUGH!! :)

FYI:
I have about $2,000 in student aid money left so choosing wouldn't be a problem. I just don't know if I should waste a lot of that money on a laptop....

Answer
If you have certain classes that require a certain type of computer then you need to think about that like if you are taking photo or architecture classes.

Otherwise I would say you need one with a sturdy casing. You need one that has decent batter life. Wireless of course. I would get one with an HDMI port so you can stream movies or TV shows and project it on your TV if you want. You will want a webcam and mic for skyping.

You are going to need a decent processor core not amd and for sure you need Microsoft student for the word processor and power point.

What is a good laptop for a college student?

I need a new laptop but am a bit overwhelmed by all of the options. I don't have a great budget (around $500), and am wondering what a good laptop is for a college student, with a decent processor size and speed, etc. I don't need anything amazing, just something good - for writing papers, getting online, listening to music, watching videos, etc. Any suggestions?

Answer
My advice is to inquire at the particular college. They usually have "minimum requirements - recommendations" to ensure compatibility with their network. I suspect that the basic models, which are far more robust than the machines made a few years ago, will suffice.
