Question by suspended_acctx3: What laptop do you recommend for a new college student?
I am going to college this fall (leaving in 1 week!) and I will be buying a new laptop for college. What laptop is best? I am particularly looking for one with a lot of memory, good wireless internet and (hopefully) less than $ 1,000.
The $ 1,000 price range is flexible but not by much.
Any help/comparisons between laptops you can recommend will be helpful.

Answer by FieldHockeyGirl
It depends. Are you more partial to certain brands? When buying a laptop, remember that it only comes with trial software. Things like anti-spyware and anti-virus software, as well as Microsoft Office will have to be bought separately. Make sure you factor that into your overall budget.
The majority of laptops come with wireless cards already integrated, so that takes care of one part. High memory for a laptop is between 3-4 gbs of DD2 memory. 3 should be sufficient for a college student, unless you tend to use a lot of memory.
The next factor is size. Are you looking for something very portable? If so, you should consider something with a screen about 14.1″-15.4″. There are 12″ ones, but those are almost too small.
Next, consider whether AMD v. Intel is important to you. Intel processors tend to be more energy efficient, meaning they don’t get quite so hot, while AMD is cheaper.
Not only that, but only 2 brands come with restore disks: Dell and Toshiba. Any other brand you would have to either have the disks made for you, make them yourself, or buy them (Restore disks allow you to put your computer back to factory settings in case you need to reboot/reset). It takes about 3 hours on average to make a set of restore disks, sometimes more.
Using those things will help you narrow down your selection significantly. Your best bet is to look at laptops on BestBuy.com and use the left hand menu to narrow down the selection. You can choose brand, size, memory, hard drive size, processor brand, etc that way. I personally recommend buying an HP, along with services like Optimization/Restore Disk Creation from Geek Squad.
Good Luck =)

Get a MacBook. Go to your local Apple store to test the Macs out and see how you like them. They may not be the cheapest laptops around but they are amazing. MacBooks include everything you mentioned on your list and a lot more. MacBooks are perfect for college and will make your college experience, much more relaxed. Good luck.

Question by musicalcraze: What is the fastest laptop for college?
I need a laptop for college. Preferably less than 1100. I extremely want a mac book but unfortunately parents aren’t sold on it. I’ve heard its the best in virus protection, lasting longest, updating not needed as much and its the fastest.
A dell is another choice, but I’ve heard it crashes more and slower.
I want a very fast computer that can stand all of my photos and music.
Advice please!! Thanks!

Answer by Mikey
for 1100 it doesn’t really matter what you get as long as it has a decent processor, ram, and good hard disk memory. I saw a few laptops at best buy on sale that had decent specs and were under 1k. What you want is:
2.4ghz dual core CPU
ATLEAST 3 gigs or ram
and about 250 gigs of ram should be fine.
look at the toshibas at best buy…they have nice stats and look nice on the outside.
