Bag and laptop for BA graphic design

Heya

I'm due to be starting my graphic design degree at lboro this September and I want to know that I'm actually spending my money right if anybody could help😭.

I'm really torn on what bag I would need since O have no clue what materials I'm going to be walking around with ( laptop, projects etc.)

If there's anybody that does Graphic Design could you recommend me a good bag and a good laptop?

I've had the hp envy x360 which quite literally slowly broke from the hinges and the screen was actually attempting to fly off my laptop and I've got the lenovo ideapad 3 which has HORRIBLE display colours like completely inaccurate and will only make my life harder especially having to work with colours.

If anybody could help please gove me some recommendations! Thank you🫶🏻

Hi @Alex06andra I hope you're well.

I'm a Graphic Design student at Norwich University of the Arts and when I started my degree here, I had the exact same issue! I wanted the best laptop for my course but within a price range that I could afford.

Emailing a course leader at the uni you'll be attending is probably a good option as this is how I made the decision for mine. I was sent a list of a few various options, which meant I could choose a laptop that was within my price range and a size that I liked but knew would be perfect for studying at a creative university.

I hope this helps,
Charlotte, Student Ambassador
