Q: QuestionIs is a good laptop for a college student?(3 answers)
A: AnswerYou would want to base it off of the requirements of the software for the classes that are being taken. This laptop is designed around gaming and would be good for 3D rendering and some types of art design. If it is more about coding without the renders, you might want something with an i7 and not go with a GPU. Then you have things like AI design which might require higher specs based on what programs are being used and how they want the AI developed. If you have the information about the classes and what software is required, you can also take that to the Best Buy computer team and have them help you figure out what might be the best option for you.Answered by HP Team
- A: AnswerThank you for your questions, Ken! This laptop has 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C port (supports DisplayPort 1.4 and HP Sleep and Charge), 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-A port (supports HP Sleep and Charge), and 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-A port (no additional supports). All three are SuperSpeed with a 5Gbps signaling rate. The SSD speed is not listed in the specs but it is a 512 GB 2280 PCIe-4x4 NVMe TLC M.2 SSD.
