Top 5 Laptops for Your Back To School College Or High School Student

Today every high school and college student needs a laptop, but with so many options and so many different prices it could be homework in itself  to make the right choice. Since technology is my main business with over 30 years of testing repairing and consulting I wanted to do the home-work for you. My reviews are done both by internet customer reviews as well as current shop repairs and equipment knowledge by reviewing the top computers by computer manufacturers  like Dell Lenovo HP Asus and MSI and not in any specific order.

I am actually very excited about the specific list of computer  recommendations that have been chosen. A few major things to keep in mind before making your purchase?

  1. Always check with your Students school for a minimum computer requirements list.
  2. PC or Mac prefered?
  3. Software needed Office, Photoshop, Autocad or Quickbooks…
  4. Basic computer security and protection ie. Antivirus Malware protection.
  5. VPN application, Keeping hackers out of reach.

Whichever laptop you choose you also want to pick up a few extras such as a mouse keyboard and possibly an extra monitor I personally would choose a flat panel TV with HDMI connection for the price, This will  also give your student the flexibility of connecting his streaming device when not doing school work.

In order from the most to least expensive laptops and tablets prices are showing the lowest prices when ordering from amazon.com, Walmart coming in second then Best Buy being tied with Newegg.com.

Based on my experience, Unless your students school says they have to have a Apple computer or your student just has to have one, I would choose a PC Laptop and not a MAC. Macs are over priced, they are not holding up like they did five or more years ago and the repair cost is three times of a PC Laptop. I have worked on more macs in the past two years then ever in my 30 years of working on computers.
