Good choice for college student?

My son picked this out for himself. He is a freshman computer science major and felt that it was a good choice for the money. He immediately installed Linux on it, so I can't say how good the Windows 8.1 works. He seems to be happy with it.

Ya it's a good choice for a college student just be sure to get a good antivirus dont think that Norton is good enough. But the performance overall is good and is good at running multiple programs at once.

Yes. I'm actually in high school and I take my laptop everywhere I go. It's very helpful.

The Pelican case is not really suited for college life. It's designed for protecting your laptop in harsh conditions. It's heavy, and there is not room for any computer accessories. The best overall everyday "case" that I use for my laptop is a backpack made by Swiss Gear - the IBEX backpack. It has plenty of room and protection for a laptop up to 17", pockets and compartments that can accommodate a tablet, a good amount of space for books and other supplies. It's extremely comfortable and durable - and perfect for campus life.

I think that it is appropriate for a college student. We bought it for an 11 year old grandson. His father used it more than he did!

I would say yes if there are programs that you need it for. It is basically a desktop replacement but if you are able to I would suggest leaving it at home/dorm-room so it doesn't get damage or undergo wear and tear because it's pretty large. For an example if your going to class I would suggest taking a netbook since you a lot of times they are available for a cheap price on Amazon and when you get back home or to your dorm housing use the big laptop. I'm just saying that if your able and would be able to have the means to do so. I hope this helps and I wish you the best on whatever decision you make.

Yes, it will be your good option. But be noted that this bag is slim, if you ve many stuff, the bag would seem small.

Yes! This is a great product for a reasonable price. I used mine for a grad school course and had no troubles with it. I am considering purchasing some for my school to use in the computer lab with notation software. It is very user friendly. Enjoy!

Although this computer performs very well and has touch screen I would not recommend it for school use. Computers for school use are best if they are mobile. I would recommend the Samsung Slate or the Surface with Windows 8 that should be available around Feb 9. I do not recommend the current Surface with Windows RT. The price is tempting but there are too many limitations regarding software that requires the desktop environment of Windows.

Mark, this foot locker would be an excellent choice to invest in to store your valuables especially if you're in college. I bought one for my son and we're very pleased with it. The foot locker is sturdy and compact to push underneath the bed to create space in a dormitory room. This foot locker is on wheels which makes it easy to maneuver especially when you're living on the third floor in a dormitory.

The Create is a good tool. I'm a graphic designer and I use the Create both at home and at work. If you try to find something bigger or better you're going to spend a lot of money... and since you're a student you might not be ready to shell out the big bucks.

I bought the Crosley CR6010A Collegiate for my son last christmas while he was a senior at college. perfect for a dorm room and college student. Good sound from a portable unit. he and his room mates were very happy with it. Highly recommend for a college student. Also like the retro look.

It would be ok but the student may think it a bit juvenile for college.I bought this for our 8th grader.

In concur with BOTH answers! The 600 is a good starter but I prefer this one (but I still kept the 600 for travel purposes).

I think it would be fine for both purposes. Sure you would be carrying around a slightly larger pack for college than some other folks, but then you would already have a great pack for traveling that can be used as a carry-on bag.

Absolutely! I would have LOVED to have had this when I was in college! It can definitely handle small things and you'll probably be surprised at how many bigger projects you can use it for too.

I think it's great for college (if budget provided is enough=]). Juz a personal exp.: i have an uninterrupted sleeping after i used the MediF Pillow, and my thought is much clear (may be due to i have a better sleep XD)
