As an IT students, what is the best laptop that I can use?
I just completed 4 years on an IT course and bought my laptop in second year. My laptop is a hp pavilion,8 gigs of ram,i5 processor and a terabyte hard drive.Its specs hold up pretty well today and Iexpect it to last me another couple of years
If I had to buy a new laptop today.I would first look at the specs,not the exact model.Today,your gonna want a fast processor, i5 or i7.Some of the AMD processors are descent too,look at the clock speed !
You'll also want 8 gigs of ram.I would try and get a machine with a solid state drive,which increases hard drive performance.
Another tip which I missed when o bought mine was to check laptop weight.Mine is quite heavy which was annoying when I had to carry it from class to class .Look for a thin laptop,15.6 inch screen is perfect,anything bigger or smaller is not ideal.
I would probably llook to buy hp or Toshiba,maybe Samsung or lenevo. You'll have to spend big to get a decent dell laptop.I would also stick with windows to ensure compatability with the software you'll be using over the years for office and development tools etc.
Good luck
