There are few things as annoying to a computer user than when their machine starts running unexpected slow.

For many of the college kids I know, the most important aspect of going back to school is not what you might think. It’s not the friends, the parties, or the chance to get a great education – I mean those are all givens. The exciting part for many kids is picking out a brand new student laptop! Okay, well at least that was the case for me, and seems to be for some of the people I know. So, I got to think, what is it that a student really needs in a laptop, and which laptop choices are the most convenient for students?
Of course, while some students (like those enrolled in graphic design, etc) will need ultra capable machines with tons of memory, most students will do well with a more modest laptop. I mean, unless the student is looking to do design work or some serious gaming outside of class, an entry level model will probably fare just fine. One thing such students may want to splurge on is paying extra to get a lightweight laptop, as packing a heavy machine around from class to class can be a little trying. Otherwise though, as long as the laptop (or netbook even) has a suitable amount of RAM and can run basic internet and office programs, it really should suit the average student just fine.
