Since so many students are going off to college, I thought it would be a good idea to list some good brands of laptops with certain perks that go well with college life. Obviously, the cost would be a good note to mention.
So any college people or people out of college mind to mention a few things? heck, you could mention things that are great to have going into/in college. go. |

I advise against an HP Pavilion in the 6000 series. A lot of people have this laptop on my campus. A lot of my floormates had them too. All of them have a lot of complaints. They play games and the best video card option is still not good enough. I use Photoshop and it's VERY slow on this computer. The webcam is schizo.
Like JosephCohen said, if you get a laptop with Vista make sure it has a good amount of RAM. Also, check the model. Some places have computer models that came out before Vista or very soon after Vista was released. Those computers probably can't keep up with some of the software demands so make sure you get a relatively new model with a good bit of RAM. My boyfriend has a Lenovo/IBM laptop. They are pricey but it runs fast and very durable. Also, it has a lot of upgrade options. |
