Hello Best Buy customer College and thank you for asking this question as I am sure that a lot of other college students and those thinking about attending college in the near future may benefit from an answer to your question. To find a "quick" answer to your question, I did a GOOGLE search using the question => "Is Intel core i3 8th generation with 8 gigabyte and 1 terabyte good for college work?" Respectfully stated, I would encourage you to do the same. Some of the entries seem to suggest that Intel Core i5 or Intel Core i7 would be better; however, I use this very same model HP laptop a lot during the day and I am able to do everything from typing lots of documents (i.e., for E-mails and drafting 8-1/2" X 11" letters for USPS mailings) to conducting detailed research. In addition, I am able to "fly" through search engines like GOOGLE Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. I also view video tutorials and other forms of Online entertainment on YouTube.com and Bing.com. Please don't discount the latter two (2) as they are great learning tools! As a college student and perhaps other times in one's life sometimes it becomes necessary to save money and to use this laptop and other PC's to draft documents one can make use of the "FREE" resources available--if one wishes to do so. The two (2) that I've come across are Apache OpenOffice & LibreOffice. Of course, prior to downloading any program, make certain that the source is the "actual" organization to avoid introducing a virus or becoming part of a "payment required" process. I use Apache OpenOffice and with that you can have access to what they refer to as "Text Document, Spreadsheet, Presentation, etc." Please take advantage of this great Windows 10 OS (a.k.a. operating system) as it has, among many other assets, a feature called CORTANA and you can place terms into this search bar such as Calculator, File Explorer, Disc Cleanup, the three (3) search engines mentioned above, Control Panel, Optimize & Defrag., Task Manager , Weather, Sticky Notes, Calendar, Synaptics Pointing Device (allows for the control of touch pad functionailty), etc., etc. When you or anyone explores the functionality of each of these functions it will be easy to see how they will enhance your interactive experiences with this and other PC's. Of course you can connect a printer wirelessly to this laptop. I wish you and others the best of luck in your college years and I only wish that I had access to a laptop PC like this one when I attended two (2) colleges and graduate school!
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.should be sufficient for normal college use. it is not a heavy gaming machine however
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it would be. I use it for work to run multiple word documents and medical programs. It does not cause it to slow down at all. Easy to type on the keyboard and navigate using the touchscreen.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Definitely, yes! There is great processing power and potential, and a ton of storage!
