Why Netbooks Work for College Students
Netbooks for College Students
Netbooks have received a vast amount of criticism over the past year but one area that they excel in without debate is for use in the educational setting. Cheap, compact and powerful enough for student applications like word and the internet, netbooks seem tailored for college students.
While cheap generally is connotative with “sacrifice what you really need”, I find this not to be the case. I work weekends on a netbook from a hotel room and not once have I ever run into a situation that I felt a lack of memory, power or screen space. I even do web development on my Toshiba NB205, and find the 10″ screen just fine for seeing the big picture.
For college students, netbooks are perfect. They fit well on small desks in large lecture halls. And speaking of small spaces, they are great for dorm rooms and having on your lap as you work on your bed, the one piece of furniture that you’re given, other than a rock hard desk chair. If you have the room in your dorm room, put in a 21″ monitor and just plug the laptop into when you’re stationary. Then you have all the benefits of a desktop system and a big screen for YouTube Videos! They also fit great in a backpack, something that a 17inch screen doesn’t really. I know I used to hate lugging my laptop and a separate back pack to the library. In fact, I’m relatively sure that is how I injured my shoulders, not 4 years of pitching softball.
And finally, the best part of netbooks for the college student…Price! At $350, yeah, it’s not going to last long but then you can get 2 netbooks for the price of one regular laptop and I would rather have the most up to date technology every two years than a bloated, hard to carry, overpriced full laptop that doesn’t fit the college lifestyle.
