    Yes my course is accounting and finance, sorry for not being clear. How powerful would it need to be, i'm hopefully going to UEA if that makes any difference.

    You don't need a laptop at all.

    In class, you'll be working in pencil if you're anything like me, drawing up balance sheets and p&l accounts. Not as easy on a laptop! It's not just note-taking. Anything you want to do outside of class, you can use either your own desktop or a uni one.

    Instead of a laptop, may I interest you in a notebook? Smaller and lighter than a laptop, they can be hugely beneficial if you plan to do a lot of moving with it
