1. Overview
Before we see the laptops most suitable for students, we should understand what a good student laptop. Normally a student will want a laptop that is lightweight and comfortable enough to lug to and from the different classes. In addition, the laptop has to have great battery life and performance. And the price is sometimes a problem, so the above functions must be packaged in an affordable package.
After examiningthe type of laptop suitable for students, I decided it in three categories: budget, split thin and light and ultraportable. So let's take a look at them now ...
2. Budget Laptops
For a student who is short of money, a budget laptop is a good buy. Some of the best budget laptops including those from Dell, Toshiba and HP. I personally find the Toshiba Satellite A215-S4747 to a great budget laptop. You get an AMD-based dual-core CPU,perfroms very well with most applications. You also get a huge 200GB hard drive and a variety of peripheral ports.
There is also a nice Sony VGN-NR160E / S model, which is (surprisingly) in the budget category. Out of the box, this machine gives you the Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 processor, 1GB of RAM and a 160 GB hard drive - that's a lot of computing power's at low prices.
3. Thin and Light Notebooks
If you prefer a high-performance notebook and notMind a little weight, then you try to go for a thin and light notebook. Some of the models that I can think of including Lenovo, HP and Sony.
The Sony VAIO VGN-FZ280E is a pretty good choice for a thin and light notebooks. This system is compatible with a Blu-ray writer that can burn CDs and DVDs. You also get an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz CPU, 2 GB of RAM and a 250 GB hard drive.
Another model I would consider is the HP Pavilion dv6675us. You will receive an IntelCore 2 Duo 2.0 GHz CPU, 4 GB RAM and 250 GB hard disk space. The 4 GB of RAM is a great feature that will come in handy if you are a student of finance or science and compute-intensive applications to run.
4. Ultraportable Laptops
If the size and weight of the laptop is very important to you, then go for an ultraportable laptop. These laptops give very good computing power in a very small, compact package.
In this category, I thinkLenovo ThinkPad X61 is a good choice for students. It is somewhat expensive (but not outrageously so), but it is one of the most powerful laptops around. It only weighs about 3 pounds and is therefore a highly portable piece of hardware. You also get an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz CPU, 2 GB of RAM and a 100 GB hard drive. They are not a built-in DVD burner, however - the external device to the laptop.
Another good choice is the Toshiba Portege R500-S5001X. It weighs 2.4 kilogramsand is less than an inch thick. This is one of the thinnest and lightest notebooks you can find on the market. It is also very inexpensive.
Conclusion
Good! I hope this article has shown you the different types of laptops, which are suitable for students. Regardless of your needs and budget, make sure you do proper research before shelling out the cash. Until next time, good luck and have fun shopping!
