Students! You’ve bagged the best room in the halls, scoped out the quickest way to the cheapest bar, and calculated just how many times you can wear your underwear until you need to take your washing home to your mom. You’ve got it all figured out! Or have you? It dawns on you that you can’t just use someone else’s chewed-up pen for your assignments: you need a computer! And some cash!
Whether you’re just typing out essays or producing full-on works of graphic design, here are a few of the best PCs to help you achieve the best grades possible.
Budding Writer? Or Just Need a Small Computer?
If your degree is primarily essay-based, (or just a lot of typing!), why don’t you opt for a laptop? Lightweight and portable, and with a battery life of at least 8 hours, a laptop gives you the freedom to work anywhere, anytime!
For a typical student, budgets are tight, which is why a Chromebook is a brilliant compromise. The Samsung 11.6” Chromebook is a great little laptop if you’re looking to write the next Harry Potter series! With a battery life of 11 hours and 32GB of storage; Google Chrome and Google Docs included as standard, and weighing just 2lbs, this laptop is a real winner.
With prices starting from $200 depending on the type of Chromebook you choose, it’s definitely budget AND user-friendly.
iPad for an iMac
Of course, if you really want to make everyone jealous, you could always splash the cash on an iMac. Sleek, surprisingly portable, and with up to 2TB of storage; this is the computer system not to be messed with. The latest iMac 24 includes a 1080p webcam; 4 USB chargers; and a color-matched (fancy!) magic keyboard. As far as PCs go, this $1449 piece is an investment that will see you far into your studies and beyond. Whether your passion is graphic design, photo-editing, or even just writing, the iMac will make sure you get it done fast, with 85% faster CPU performance than previous models.
How to Choose an All-In-One Desktop
If you prefer to be sat at a desk, or just like the power and structure of a desktop PC, it can be daunting to choose which one is right for you. But fear not! Lenovo has a wide range of desktops for college students and you’re sure to be able to find one that suits you, even after taking into consideration your budget and your needs. They include a wide range of electronics, discounts, and bundle deals: you’d be silly not to check them out!
A good quality PC will last you a long time, hopefully for years to come. Choosing the right one for your studies won’t only save you money, it will also help you cut through the unnecessary add-ons and leave you with a computer that 100% suits your needs. And to that, I say happy studying! Enjoy your time at college!
