With the world becoming more and more digitally advanced, laptops are a prerequisite for all students. Unlike school stationery, laptops are a long-term investment, and so need to be chosen carefully. In this blog, we have attempted to outline the major factors to consider when choosing a laptop as a student. Along with that, we have also mentioned some financing options for students.
- Deciding a budget: As a student, the most important factor to consider should be the budget. You want to go for a laptop that would get all your tasks done for the amount. you are paying. A laptop could range anywhere from Rs 10,000 to more than a lakh. You must set a ballpark budget and explore your options on the basis of that.
- Size and weight:?Laptop portability is one of the most important things students look for today. If you are a student, consider the fact that you may have to carry your laptop wherever you go. Lightweight and small-sized laptops should work fine if you plan to perform basic functions on your laptop. However, if you wish to?prioritize?screen size and processing power, a bigger laptop would be a much better option.?
- Battery life: The next most important thing to consider would be battery life. Everyone wants a good battery life. If you only plan on using the laptop for a few hours everyday, a laptop with a minimum of 8-9 hours of battery life should do it for you.
- The operating system: Considering the appropriate operating system is a must as different operating systems serve different purposes in a better manner. The most common ones are Windows and macOS. The main difference between Mac and Windows is their interface. Mac has a simple and subtle interface whereas Windows is a feature-rich but complicated interface. You can run Windows on Mac OS but you can’t run macOS on Windows yet. So you must choose your operating system wisely.
- RAM and Processor: When it comes to your laptop’s processor and RAM, consider it as per your needs. If you want your laptop to be able to handle gaming, editing or other complex processes, you’ll need a laptop stronger with high-end processors to enhance your experience.?
- Special Features: Make sure you also check other features that your laptop provides. For example, as a student, if you require your laptop to have more flexibility and precision, you can go for a touch screen or a yoga laptop. This could particularly help if you are a graphic design student. Similarly, if you are someone who needs to conduct many meetings and attend classes online.
