OK son, you’ve grown up, time to go to college. “But dad…”. Here’s your money.. ”But dad…” Here’s your food … “But dad…” Ok fine here’s your car … “But dad..” Yes son? “I want a laptop!”.

Of course that conversation is complete fiction because in the real world the conversation would have ended by the time the car was mentioned. Anyway buying a laptop for their children when they ho to college is something every parent will do. Here are a few guidelines which I hope will be very useful when it comes to buying a laptop.

Nowadays, by spending somewhere between $700 and $3,500 you can buy a laptop with a dual-core CPU and enough power to run productivity applications, view and edit vacation photos, manage MP3s and videos, and even play many of today’s games,  the general purposes that a PC user invests money in such a system. At $1,000 and up, you should easily be able to perform those tasks. Spend around $700, and in most cases you’ll still be able to run common tasks without delay, although when it comes to 3D gaming you can’t be as flexible as if you had an over $1000 system. Another important aspect when it comes to buying a system is that you have to be sure the computer is equipped with at least 1GB of memory, a 128MB graphics card, and you’ll get a laptop that, for its price can be very reliable and fast.

Here are a few systems that are definitely worth mentioning.

Another system worth watching is the Philips X59, which comes with the Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 processor 1.66 ghz. It has several attractive and useful features. It’s reduced dimensions of only37mm x 297 mm x 213 mm, the X59 can is a very trendy laptop today. It weighs only 1.89 kg making it extremely portable.

Any of these two can easily be considered, if we look at the price and performances, one of the best laptops for college students in the world.

It is possible that these systems aren’t exactly what you need. There is absolutely no doubt that you can find better systems or even cheaper systems than these mentioned by me. All you need to do is a small research on the internet, then a little browsing around your local IT store and I’m sure you’ll find the system that matches your needs and, of course your budget.
