<p>Do you think its a mistake to go to NEU without a lab top?
I'm a bio major, thanks in advance...</p>
<p>Not to be harsh or mean in anyway but its a laP top. And while most students do have their own personal computers, there is always the computer lab you can use to do all of your research and what not. </p>
<p>You can find good, cheap laptops nowadays however.</p>
<p>any websites I can check out to get a cheap one? I’m looking to spend under $400-$600, if not I have a computer I use now… Never had a lab top, also, how do lab tops get internet access … are all new lab tops wireless now?
<sorry if that’s a silly ?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot</p>

<p>These are great for their price and in general. Most laptops nowadays have a wireless card installed. At Northeastern, you can only get Wireless access where there is a wireless connection but in your dorm you can connect through an ethernet cable.</p>
<p>All modern models have wireless internet yes, and you log onto the Northeastern’s internet using your student ID and password.</p>
<p>I highly recommend getting a laptop since a computer’s a necessity, at least to me and a lot of other students.</p>
<p>I’d buy a laptop for everyday use. Those tend to be less powerful, but enough for people who just need it to do schoolwork</p>
<p>you can also buy a netbook which is basically a smaller version of a laptop. it’s good for using the internet and taking notes. you can get one for like $300.</p>
<p>We found a decent Dell (Inspririon iM105R) at Best Buy for $550 . There was a model $450, but it seemed too basic. There were more expensive models available too. </p>
<p>We already had a copy of Microsoft Office to load from a 3-license student pack… I think that runs about $100 if you need to buy it. We also did $100 accidental coverage.</p>
<p>You can also buy Microsoft Office through Northeastern through myNEU for a discounted student price (not sure if it comes with multiple licenses or not).</p>
<p>question. Were you going to bring a desktop computer to school, or have no computer at all?</p>
<p>You would be fine with a desktop, but i would recommend having some kind of computer definitely.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot ! I thought It would be kind of silly for me to lug over my huge desktop… Im still considering a lab top, the $300 one sounds good, I’ll probably go the first week without one… see how it goes, they have open computer labs on campus right? </p>
<p>I know alot of them tend to be packed, but I’m willing to take that chance for now…</p>
