How To Choose The Best Student Laptop?
Copyright (c) 2007 Titus Hoskins

Merchants are singing those three magic words again, 'Back to
School' and the fallout is everywhere!

Just as you're getting your deep dark pre-cancerous tan going -
you hear those words - and it spells the end of summer. Once
again we are bombarded with advertising, featuring the latest in
'school ware' 'teen ware' and 'metal detector ware'. Just
kidding, although given recent events it's probably
inappropriate to even kid about such things.

Is it just me or does it seem this year there is a lot more
'Back to School' advertising for notebooks and laptops? They
seem to be everywhere... on TV, radio, and online.

Laptop ads are everywhere. Why is this?

Well, notebooks have come down in price, they have become more
affordable, even for the modest student. Laptops have also come
down in size, making them ideal for that school napsack, or dorm
room. They have also become tougher and sturdier... better
equipped to meet the hard/wear/tear that students can give it.

In addition, with notebook technology changing every two years or
so, notebooks can now handle most tasks students throw their way.
These advanced notebooks can do the job. They also present a much
stronger entertainment value to students, they can handle better
graphics and gaming, but most students try to keep parents in the
dark about this factor as they plead for a new laptop for college
or school. All this pleading is further fueling the demand for
laptops.

Then there is a little thing called the Internet. Throw in a
wireless connection and the student laptop is coming into its
own. Big Time!

The Internet has become a second teacher/parent/counselor to most
students. God help us all! But it has also become a priceless
source of the collective knowledge on this planet; frightening
but true. The Internet is an invaluable source of knowledge for
any high school/college student.

Not having ready access to all this knowledge and information
will put any student at a disadvantage with his or her peers.
It's a very competitive world, in high school, in college and in
the future job market; every student should have an even playing
field.

That's where the little notebook computer enters stage right!

Laptops or notebooks have quickly become a school necessity.
When? How? Why?...

It's the perfect learning tool for students:

* Very Portable: you can carry them anywhere, class, cafe, dorm,
home...

* Very Convenient: you can take notes in class, type up
assignments, print assignments, communicate home, access the
Internet...

* Very Tough: many newer notebooks are designed to withstand a
good pounding and keep on computing, ruggerized for sturdy
use...

* Very Powerful: notebooks or laptops are catching up to their
desktop cousins in computing speed, hard drive storage and
performance...

* Very Affordable: prices have dropped and are falling even
further, laptops are now outselling desktop PCs so this price
will drop even further, there's a whole slew of used and
refurbished laptops hitting the market...

If you're a student, parent or guardian; here are some of the
factors you should consider when buying the best student laptop
or notebook:

* Size - it must be small, lightweight and very portable, fit
comfortably under the arm or in that backpack.

* Sturdy - it must be tough, sturdy, ruggerized, and able to
take more than one hard knock because students are students.

* Connections - wireless connections should be offered, the
Internet is such a valuable tool in itself - a student should be
able to access it anywhere. Most notebooks have these connections
but check - a printer port, a 56Kbps-modem, a VGA port for an
external monitor, and should have at least one USB port for
external keyboard/mouse, digital cameras, drives, and MP3
players.

* Technical Specs - it should have enough RAM, storage space
(hard drive) and computing speed to do any job the student can
throw at it.

* Battery Life - make sure your student notebook has a
reasonable battery life, 5 hours or more.

* Laptop Security - laptop theft is a major concern so check for
laptop security features like encryption, bios fingerprint
reader, and such anti-theft software product like LoJack which
can track and locate your laptop or computer through the IP
address once the stolen laptop is used to access the Internet.
Also, some universities are having great success with a product
called STOP, this system works by attaching a specially-made
security plate to your laptop. This plate is barcoded and
registered. It also carries a warning label letting would-be
cyber thieves know that the ownership of your laptop is
permanently monitored.

* Price - it should be reasonably priced, refurbished laptops
may be an option for those on a strict budget.

However, some words of wisdom, students or parents shouldn't
skimp too much - if you're spending 10's of thousands on an
education, you should also provide for the best possible
equipment in the form of a sturdy, lightweight high performance
laptop. Besides, a high quality laptop will last for years...
just imagine your son or daughter writing their resumes on it
after they have finished college... keep this image in your mind
as you go about buying that perfect student laptop.
