Asus laptops for students on a budget

If your student is in college, having a computer usually tops the list of student equipment. Today, almost every student has a laptop of some kind. Laptops are ideal for students for several reasons:

• Easier transportation from home to your bedroom
• Easy to take two lectures and take notes instead of writing them in a notebook
• Easy to take to study groups with your friends where you can consolidate notes in one place
• Easy to take with you to the library or wherever you go to study or revise for exams

One of the biggest advantages of today’s laptops is the price. Most students don’t have the budget to buy a full-fledged high-end laptop. They simply need a machine that allows them to take notes, connect to the Internet for email or research, run some applications, and so on.

The best budget, portable and functional laptops that can look like students are the Asus EEE range of PCs. You can usually buy a good model for less than $400. This model will come with either Linux or Windows XP installed. This range of laptops will meet the needs of most students. Some students may be taking courses that require the use of more processor and graphics intensive applications. For example, someone studying 3D art may need to learn a program like Maya, or a student learning to code may need a faster processor so their programs can compile faster. In that case, you might want to bump your budget into the 80 laptop with a dedicated 3-D graphics card and a processor that’s dual-core quad-core.
