good for college student?

It will work well for a college student once they figure out Windows 8...which is full of clutter. Everything auto saves to the cloud so they might want to change that setting if they prefer to keep their info private.

You may need more software. The computer is great. I use it for Facebook, surfing the web and some home finance.

It is a great bag for college. It is one if the only 5.11 backpacks that had a dedicated laptop pouch and still has plenty of room for books and folders.

It has its pros and cons for a student. The pros are that its lightweight, thin, and the battery can last for about 3 and a half hours. Some of the issues I've had are freezing and slow responses for applications such as Word. I don't know if the problems lie within Windows 8 or the AMD components. This would be a good laptop if you really want a slim laptop and don't need a CD ROM (it does not have one). Although its not very reliable because it has a tendency to freeze at times when starting up, forcing you to turn it off and on again and hope this time it will work.

Not at all. This planner is perfect for college with enough room for everything. I like it so much I'm getting another.

It's a good laptop for college, just know that it is older unless the seller has updated it so if they have not then you will be limited as far as downloads go. I actually have a new Macbook Air and with Macs they are already limited and then you add the age would make it very limited with basic downloads like Adobe, etc. Try looking around locally on Craigslist and you may find one that are updated with the newest OS. Hope this was helpful.

It could be a good highschool laptop - the price is excellent. You would need to purchase Microsoft office 365 to get Word, Power Point, Excel. It is a big screen - 15.6 inches wide - but not heavy. Could go in your backpack to school with you. Good battery life. Hope that helps...

I bought the Crosley CR6010A Collegiate for my son last christmas while he was a senior at college. perfect for a dorm room and college student. Good sound from a portable unit. he and his room mates were very happy with it. Highly recommend for a college student. Also like the retro look.

Ya it's a good choice for a college student just be sure to get a good antivirus dont think that Norton is good enough. But the performance overall is good and is good at running multiple programs at once.

NO. I would not recommend this for a high school student. Here is why - 2GB of RAM and an Intel Atom processor (the same type found in low-powered netbooks). Windows 7 (and 8) really need at least 4GB of RAM tor run well. Also, this is one of the lowest power processors available. You would be much better off with Intel Pentium G series, Intel Core i3 or an AMD A4 or better processor. The problem with only 2GB of ram is that Windows takes up most of that which leaves little over for running applications. I would imagine that most typical students will be running a browser with several tabs open at a time, a word processor or powerpoint program, Itunes playing music and/or netfilx, hulu or something like that as well - and 2GB of RAM just isn't enough. This particular computer is great for kiosk type tasks where you need to just run one program and need a touch screen. For the about $450 price you would pay for this you can find a laptop with a much better processor and at least 4GB of RAM. That or get a $350 desktop tower and pick up a nice 20" monitor for another $100.

My son picked this out for himself. He is a freshman computer science major and felt that it was a good choice for the money. He immediately installed Linux on it, so I can't say how good the Windows 8.1 works. He seems to be happy with it.

It's great. I bought it for my sister for college. I think it's worth the money. She thinks so too.

it is a great machine for gaming and video editing and animation such as game design or auto cad. it would no doubt last for many years as long as it is taken care of. Viruses are more prominent on windows 7 so a good anti virus is needed but only other problem i good foresee for college is it is large and very heavy. not meant to really be taken around a large amount and after a little bit of time in your bag slung on your back/shoulder you would notice it very much so.

As someone who used to skate to college: absolutely. It's enough board to give you some speed and a smooth ride but compact enough to haul around with it feeling like a hassle. Also, I surprisingly get a lot of compliments from strangers about this board. It's unique enough that people just kind of look at it an admire it. You should expect this to be quite a conversation starter at school.

Hi, Mavie. Yes, this Belkin Slim Back Pack is good for students because it is a lightweight, and versatile back pack that's designed to carry the students' laptop and everyday essentials. It also includes room for everything from pens, business cards, credit cards, power supplies, and other notebook accessories. Other than that, it also has a durable polyester exterior and a plush Soft-Touch lining for extra protection. The shoulder straps and backside also has extra padding and breathable mesh for maximum support and comfort.

Yes - Bike is heavy which is good and bad. Good for my college student as it is sturdy and has to sit outside in weather from time to time.
