I will be studying Architectural Engineering so i need a good laptop to use in designing the buildings and i will be working with 3D Max a lot so i need a good laptop…

thx.

..I’ve been menaing to buy a laptop to use for college.. but I want it to be cheap (in prcie) cause i dont want to burn my parents’ pockets since they’ve already paid about 45k for my tuition fee.. can you help me find a store that sells low-proced laptops or even 2ndhand ones? I believe there is one because its already been advertised on TV, i just forgot the name of the store..

I built my own computer about a year ago. But it was just because my computer crashed and I needed a new one for cheap. I think i built a computer for like 400 bucks. And then bought a good video card later.

So should I use the 700 bucks I have now to build a good system? Because I’m sure for 700 bucks I can make something alot better than what you can get for a laptop for that price.

Also its good for college because I won’t have to take my xbox 360.

Plus I have a 22 inch monitor and it would be a waste to leave it home with my mom.

Here is the prices I have so far:

200 bucks for a processor
100 bucks for a motherboard
200 bucks for 2 gigs ram or more
200 more bucks for case, HDD, and DVD rom/rw

I don’t really need a video card, I will just take the 6800 PCI-E graphics card out of my current system, and put a cheap one in for my parents. They don’t need anything special. I’ll take the good stuff.

All comments are recomended along with product recomendations.

going to be taking chem, psyc, math, writing in fall semester. I am not really familiar with buying computers and all, so if someone could provide some guidance. I want something that will last me all four years, going into biology major. What is the best kind of laptop for college, what do most students use?

I really don’t want to go past 500 bucks. My major is pre-med biology. I will mostly use my laptop for office stuff like microsoft word etc. Surfing the web…and of course downloading music and watching dvds. I would also like for the laptop to have a built in webcam but its not that essential….SUGGESTIONS PLZ….if you have a laptop that works really good suggest it.

I would like to buy a laptop for college. I am not an avid gamer but I would like to run at least the basic design software on it without a hitch. I won’t use it for anything other than college work and the internet. What would you guys recommend? I would like it to be as cheap as possible.

I need to get a laptop for college and I was wondering if I could use the funds from my Stafford loan for the purchase.
Thanks

Would like to at least the top five laptops that would be able to be used all four years of a college students education process without having to buy a new laptop. With the ability of burning cds and install programs with alot of memory, a super fast processor and price is not an option

I am a college junior and I have never had the money to buy my own laptop for school. Finally, due to hard earned scholarships this semester I am receiving 00 in a refund check and I want (really need) to buy a laptop for the rest of undergrad and graduate school. I would like to know what is the best (most reliable, fast, less likely to crash, and will survive graduate school) laptop to buy

So here’s the thing:

I’m starting college in around 3 weeks. I applied for financial aid and received a Pell Grant for ,366/,365 for the fall/spring respectively, a Cal B Grant for 6/5, and a BOGW for 4/4.

I know that the BOGW is used for registration fees only, but what about the others? I have already paid for my classes and books and registration, and it ended up coming to around 0, which leaves almost or around ,500 left over. Would I be allowed to use this money to purchase a laptop for college or no?

I am going to Missouri S&T for college this fall and need a nice laptop to use that has many features to go along with it.
