It would be a great computer for taking to class to take notes on or make small changes to projects while at school, but I wouldn't recommend buying it as a primary laptop to last through all of college. The processor is pretty slow and 2Gb of RAM doesn't allow you to run very many programs. The 64Gb hard drive is also way too small for a daily-use PC. My daughter only uses it for work at school, has hardly any programs on it, and it's already down below 25Gb free space. I think this machine is high enough quality to last for 4 years, but it will be obsolete well before it dies.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is an entry level system. It is good for Microsoft Office projects, online research and email. With proper care, it should last at least 4 years.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have to agree with the first two people to answer this question. It's great for transporting around campus, taking notes in class, and doing some light duty applications. The keyboard is kind of mushy so you probably wouldn't want to write a long paper (more than a few pages) with it. Yes, it will probably last 4 years, but you won't! You'll outgrow it, technology will move on, you'll see something cheaper a year or so from now with better features, etc., and you'll buy a new machine.
