I’m going to be a freshman this fall in the core liberal studies program… I have to get a new laptop and the thing is, I know nothing about computers. Can anyone recommend what would be best for this program? Please help!
A lot of students buy the most current Apple laptop for colleges. If you want to buy an IBM comptuter, which is what we did recently, buy on specs. a 15.4" screen is a good compromise between weight and legibility. Since you will probably be watching movies or TV on the screen go with a 4K or whatever high resolution option exists. For hard drive we went with a 500 GB solid state drive. Memory buy 8 GB - 16 GB. Good reliable brands - Dell, HP, Lenovo. We purchased from a website that usually sells more to business because they had more powerful models available than a Best Buy. You should be able to get MS Office from your college at a discounted rate. The Dell XPS15 is a good model to look at. Lenovo’s have the best keyboards in the business
also MS office 365 is free with an NYU email
