I will be starting college this fall and I am laptop shopping before fall kicks in and I have no idea what is good when it comes to laptops since my entire life I have owned home computers (PC), currently I have an HP, so I want to get an HP laptop too since they are very easy to handle. No Macs! lol So this is my question, are their laptops reliable? For a multitasking college student? Help please, thanks :-)

Answer
everyone in college will have a mac book pro. i got a pc my freshman year and regretted it. no matter what brand, buy a small one so you can take it to class easily

Which laptop is best for a college student?Is it mac or vaio?

Darshan La

I have to buy a laptop of a minimum budget. Which should i choose? Mac or vaio. In mac i have the money to buy the macbook air 11 inch of 64GB. Is it is too small for a college student. Does it fill my requirements or i should go for vaio.

Answer
It could be too small. I'd recommend you test both laptops in retail stores and see which one fits your needs best. Remember you'd be able to get a 15" / 17" Sony Vaio for the same price as an 11" MacBook Air.

Edit: In regards to post above, the MacBook is no longer sold. Your choice is a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro only. However, refurbished MacBooks may still be sold via the Apple Online Store (http://store.apple.com), scroll to the bottom and on the left you'll see Refurbished section.

Im going to college in the fall as an incoming freshman. I need a good, durable backpack that will hold everything I need for school. In previous years, ive had problems with totes and messenger bags and pain with my shoulder. I need something that will be good for books and a Dell Inspiron 15 notebook.

Answer
Look at Targus :) They are not all the nicest looking but at least they won't strain your shoulders and balance out the weight in the bag :)

Where can I buy an ultrabook with a 4th generation intel processor?

Gray

I am in need of a new laptop for college and I want one to have one with a haswell processor! where can I get one, online or otherwise? I already know about the sony vaio pro's but are there other options?

Answer
Aside from the Sony Vaio Pro there's the new Macbook air models and not much (or anything) else. If you can hold out Lenovo just released the u330 touch in the UK and the the higher tier u430 should soon follow and hopefully soon after make it across the pond.

Lenovo is also slated to release a business class Ubook - the T440s. So keep your eyes peeled for that as well as Asus's new Zenbook touch UX31, Samsung's Ativ Book 9, and some other offerings from dell, acer, and toshiba. Of course you'll have to play the waiting game a little longer and hope they hit the market before school starts up.

As for where to get them amazon, best buy, and newegg are the usual suspects, but I don't see many back to school promos from them yet, so waiting a tad longer might be best. However, the actual manufacturer site is where I would check as both sony and apple are offering student promos, and lenovo has been putting its y410p haswell gaming laptop on sale for a while.

Hope this helps.
