Im a high school student who needs a basic laptop…what do I get?

posted in Society & Cultures |

Okay so I am in high school and this year my school allowed laptops. I want to go electronic next year my senior year and bring my laptop everyday for school assignments but I also want to use it as my own computer so I can stop using the family one.

Right now I would be happy spending less money considering its harder to make as a teen.

I use the Internet Microsoft programs iTunes Skype and thats basically it.

MY REQUIREMENTS

I have over 350 GB of music videos documents etc and my library is always growing so I would prefer either a cheap laptop with 250 GB and then I could buy a cheap external hard drive to keep at home OR I could get an expensive computer with at least 500 GB hard drive.

1314 screen

I want the keyboard to be nice and Id prefer

something that burns CDs and DVDs

has at least 5 hours of battery life per charge I need it to last for the school day

Windows 7 and good wifi connectivity seeing as thats how I will get Internet at home and in school.

Do you have any good ideas for less expensive laptops that have those requirements? Also whats a good memory and processor for me? About how many years would this laptop last before I have to get a new one?

    If u want a cheap laptop ur gonna have to be a little less picky :. Ur requirements are like 1000. Besides if u only want it for school why does it need so many things?.
    I just have my little dell laptop for school. And for music stuff i use the family one. :

    Thank you for elaborating I will conduct research to find a computer suitable for your needs. However is their any particular reason you have narrowed it down to a 1314 screen size? Those laptops have a slightly higher price. Furthermore the weight is primarily based on the overall components equipped. The ideal processor I recommend is Intel Core I3 or AMD Phenom II because those processors are robust compared to outdated singlecore processors and they are phenomenal for daily computing due to the fact that they harness the latest technology to provide astounding results. Moreover since you are streaming lowmoderately demanding applications either one shall perform optimally. The laptops durability is based on usage prolonged usage results in a shorter time span for the laptop also proper maintenance is crucial to ensure that the laptop stays optimized. All the best :
