Is this a good laptop for a college student? null

That depends. This is an ultraportable which means you can easily carry it all day but sacrifice some other areas. I would consider this, the gold version, with 8GB RAM and 256GB the minimum. I would not buy the white or black versions with only 128GB as these are not expandable. The battery lasts all day, it's extremely light and easy to carry, runs the same software a standard computer runs so version ingredients and licensing shouldn't be a problem. It's hard to connect to other devices, it has only 1 USB type C port and nothing else so you need an adapter to plug in a CDROM, USB drive, etc. Not that big of issue if you always have a good Internet connection. In the end I bought this because it's incredibly light so it's easy to take everywhere the battery lasts all day, and it's half the price of a similarly equipped MacBook or Surface. But I also have a desktop with two 28" monitors that I can put 6 documents side by side I write the majority of my thesis on. What's important to your student, Having it everywhere and lasting all day then buy this. Having one that mostly sits on a dorm room desk and is easy to connect then buy a more traditional 15" laptop.

I got one for my college student granddaughter and she loves it. I do recommend the gold edition over the (lower end) black one. It's a better computer and the gold color is a "soft" gold with a highly professional look.

Yes it is good for College but only if you are willing to type on something not so big.
