Will this work for a college student?

It would work, but it's kind of slow - even when doing things like just web surfing and opening files. You could spend a little more and get something with noticeably better performance, and you would be happier. But if this is all you can afford, I think it's not a bad choice.

definitely! its perfect for a college student. its portable and pretty efficient. it runs windows 8 OS so you need to consider that in respect of applications you want to run (windows 8 compatible versions may be required)

It depends on what you are using it for. I for gaming I would have to say no. Programming possibly. Check with you application's system requirements first. For basic MS office yes but it is slow. Surfing the Web is slow too. This was my solution to a more expensive tablet because of it's small size. I also have two much faster computers.

No, I'm sorry, but my son uses that one at college. Good luck with your search!

I would not recommend this for anything to extensive, so if your majoring in something with big text books(biology, chemistry, physics etc. etc.) and you have a laptop, and other school stuff I would say no don't buy it. If you need a bag for light use with maybe an Ipad and a few notebooks and paperbacks or small text books to read then it's ok. It's not terrible but not great either.

This computer is a replacement for a desktop! In that arena it's an excellant choice for a student. It will not last as a daily laptop for battery use in class & at a study hall. If you are the type that uses a tablet for class & library notes to be transferred to a thesis this would be perfect. Decided if you're a single machine student then no. A student who wants the best from their education then this is the main cog you need!

Yes it will work good for school and home and you can play movies on it ... My son also plays mindcraft on it and it works very well

Yes. As long as you are a student at the time of purchase. You will need a .edu email address to confirm that though.

Yes it will. I got it for my roommate and it works great and great price. And the good thing is, if Amazon.com sells it you can just return it at their cost if it doesn't work. If they claim the item works with your item and it doesn't, Amazon will take it back and pay shipping to get it back to them. So if Amazon sells it, you have no risk on buying it. Go for it :) Tony

Nope. No problems here. I currently use it every day for college and I haven't ran across any issues yet.

I'm not sure because I had it sent to my son in college. He LOVES it, so it works great in a dorm room!

Yes, it will work. You just need to enter your own calculations. Hope this helps!

yes, but it costs extra, and I did not get it. I sent it to college for my daughter. She loves it.

keep in mind...this is designed for the work place foremost...I actually bought it for my college age daughter..Will it break? anything can break..but following the direction of the swivel and hinge mechanism should lead to many years of usefulness...

Yes, it would be great! Because this device is best of both worlds. It can be a laptop for both high school and college students in class, and be a tablet to read e-books online. In terms of usability, it depends on the student. It may be difficult at first if the student uses Mac before, because this laptop has the new Windows, and it's slightly different than the previous windows software. The case used for the laptop is carbon fiber, and it is light. The quality is great. Hope this answer your question

This is good for a college student, you will have to purchase Microsoft Office for it. No issues to report so far, still works just fine.

Yes, this laptop would amply serve the needs of a student! The only "issues" per se, is the lack of the DVD/CD rom, which I really haven't missed, and that the system will sometimes restart (about 2-3 times per month). However, this is a Windows 8 issue, and not the laptop. I rarely power down my laptop so that's why I notice it. For those who shutdown more regularly, you may never have this issue at all. Hopefully Microsoft will fix this soon.
