3 best college laptops

Need a laptop for college? What features should you look for in laptops to make them serve best for a college student?

The best college laptops would have these features:
- Price - cheap
- Power/Performance - basic
- Reliability - above average
- Comparability - 100% (Windows vs. MAC)
- Ports - Internet, Phone modem, USB, PCMCIA Slot
- Intel Pentium 4 processor - for most comparability with any software/hardware
- Internet connection - easy to set up via network or phone line
- CD-RW - to record/copy CD's
- Durability - to carry it around with you
- Weight - average
- Battery life - standard
- Dedicated Graphics Memory - to play video games and do some multimedia
- Warranty - cheap, up to 3 years
- Anti-Virus software preloaded
- Windows XP Professional - to maximize comparability

To satisfy most of the above requirements, the second from the lowest-end model would provide the best college laptop choice for these three brands as they compete for prices and carry similar features.

For my son, I got Dell Inspiron 5100 with 3 years warranty.

Remember, you don't need the fastest laptop on the block and the most hard drive and memory around to perform college tasks and have some fun with the laptop. On college orientation sessions, sometimes, they tell you that you need 512MB memory and the fastest laptop - they are just trying to be safe - they actually don't know themselves. Often, buying discounted laptops on campus will cost you more than buying the same laptop online with a rebate and free shipping.
