Best Laptop for starting University?I start University in September and just wondered what a good, decent priced laptop would be.
I currently have a HP laptop with 4.0GB of memory and a Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4500 @ 2.30 GHz
Is this good enough for University? Thanks! -

If not, or you still want to get a new one, what's your budget? -

Re: Best Laptop for starting University?any laptop is fine, what will you be using it for, browsing internet during lectures and writing the odd notes?! i took an nc10 and then an nc150 for portability and that was a comp sci degree, it was fine

Re: Best Laptop for starting University?A macbook would be a pretty decent choice, I used to be an icynic but ever since I took the plunge and just bought one - I have kinda loved it.(Original post by Agata)
What would be a good laptop for a Media student? Apple?
They're really just very nice to use, I chose to push up the specs a little but I'm sure the original ones would've done fine really.
They're not a bad choice, popular amongst students

Re: Best Laptop for starting University?I noticed, they seem like a wise choice especially because we use the in college for Final Cut and whatnot. Thank you! Do you study Media by any chance?(Original post by johndoranglasgow)
