When high school students are hanging out talking about graduation and what college they’ll be attending, they talk about a lot of things like the dorm room, who their roommate is and also what kind of computer they are getting. It’s no longer a matter of if they’re getting one, but what kind. The honest question that most peopel are wondering is what are the best laptops for college students? While everyone will have their own opinion and two cents to contribute, the best one is more than likely the one that you like and that fits your needs based on your major.
Making sure you have a rough estimate in price before you start looking for cheap laptops for students. The reason for this is because there is such a variety in the cost of laptops that you’ll drive yourself crazy just looking randomly out there. Pick a price point, $500 for example and then start trying to find the best model within that price range.
If you are in a design field like photography or web design then the Apple Macbook might be a good computer to look at. The Apple discount brings this laptop down to a nice $899. While that is a bit higher than some of it’s competitors, it offers a lot of things that really fit into design fields. It’s almost very likely that after graduation from college you’ll be using an Apple computer in your actual job. That alone might be a good enough reason to spend a bit more and purchase an Apple laptop for college.
Not everyone can afford a Macbook and some people don’t even want to spend that much on a laptop. Luckily for us the Asus Eee PC 1000HE is a great affordable option, ringing in around $379. It’s also a perfect size at 10 inches.
