While it is pretty impressive walking around campus sporting a newLaptop Battery Mac notebook, not everybody can afford them. Nonetheless, you don’t need top dollar to enjoy a standard laptop to run most of your applications.
The Money-Saver
As a recent university graduate, I remember being envious of other students in my classes with either far more powerful computers, whether it be a Mac or other brand. While high-end computers are great to have, it depends on what you want to use it for. To run most applications like internet, word processing, messenger applications, and media battery players, you don’t need a powerful IBM Laptop Battery computer.
Nonetheless, unless you’re looking to purchase a used or discontinued laptop, you will have to expect to spend at least $350 on any notebook computer. Listed below are five best laptops available for students on a budget.
Asus - Netbook with Intel® Celeron® Processor 353
Costs roughly: $380
Asus is slowly making a name for IBM 02K7039 Battery itself, producing high-quality laptops that not only sport performance, but portability as well. While a 10” screen may not be for everyone, this computer weights no more than three pounds, and is no more than 1.5” thick. It’s great for bringing to class, particularly if you have to bring other sets of heavy textbooks as well. Also, there is no CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive, so you unfortunately will not be able to install software or drivers that are only accessible through CDs or DVDs. Alternatively, external battery optical drives are available and are not particularly expensive depending on the IBM 02K6620 Battery brand you want.
