<p>Is laptop size an issue at college? Is a lighter/small laptop really better? Like im looking at HPs and with the 15" one you can only get up to a 2GHz processor but you can go up to 2.2 with a 17". Ive heard 17 inches are too big for what you need at college though.any opinons?</p>
<p>there is a Mac or PC thread ask all of your laptop questions there.</p>
<p>Just ask yourself what you need and want.</p>
<p>I want a small one so I can take it easily anywhere. If you like to watch movies or have entertainment with the lap top and you don't plan on toting it around, a 17" might be for you.</p>
<p>It's really just a personal preference thing. I prefer 15 inch, it seems to be a good medium</p>
<p>Don't pay extra money for either the really small ones or the really large ones (or rather, the ones with large screens). Neither is worth it.</p>
<p>If you'll be using it for gaming and watching movies (like me), definitely get a 17". Otherwise, it's not worth it.</p>
