Best Laptops For College Students – On A Budget
These laptops for students won’t be the absolute cheapest, but they won’t be the most expensive either. They have been picked because they’re a good compromise between price and features.
The Toshiba Satellite L655
Cheap Laptops For College Students – Lowest Priced Options
The Toshiba Satellite C655 is the little brother of the Toshiba Satellite L655 mentioned above and it’s reflected in it’s price. It still has the same amazing screen and overall Toshiba quality, but has a 320GB hard drive, 2GB of RAM, and and AMD E-series processor. Battery is around 3 hours depending on use. Right now this laptop is almost $200 cheaper than other models which makes it the perfect laptop if you’re on a budget, but still want one of the cheapest and best laptops for college students around. It’s also rated in the top 5 laptops on Amazon.com
Best Laptops For College Students – Top Of The Line
I’ve actually got two choices here for the best laptops for students. I went back and worth about which one to include or if I should include both and after using both and personally owning the Macbook Air, I just had to post both. Apple is one of the best laptops brands around.
The Apple Macbook Pro is simply amazing. Every Apple computer I’ve had has been a pleasure to use. They are extremely reliable and can even run Windows if absolutely needed. Obviously they aren’t the cheapest laptops around, but I’ve never heard anyone who’s purchased one say they regretted it.
The Apple Macbook Air is my personal laptop of choice and what I would have used it was available in college. This is the smallest and lightest laptop around. I carry mine with me everywhere I go and even prefer it over the Apple iPad which believe it or not I sold to help fund the purchase of the Macbook Air.
Well these are my picks for the best laptops for college students. Do you currently own one of these? If so I’d love for you to leave a comment and tell me which model and what you love/hate about it. If none of these laptops match what you’re looking for I’d recommend heading over to Amazon’s Best Selling Laptops
