Good laptop for high school and college?

Question

Im in high school; about to go to college. Im going to go to med school. I need a good laptop that is smaller (between 13 and 15 inches). It has to have long battery life and lots of memory. I dont want a mac. I had one and wasnt very fond of it. Thanks!

Answer 1

You don't really want a small laptop in college, because unless you also have a tv, you'll be watching movies and tv on your screen and will want a large screen.  Plus, larger computers tend to me a little more stable.  

Businesses tend to go with IBM thinkpads, because they're pretty reliable and sturdy.  I've been using toshiba, and it's been pretty stable for me.  My first lappy in college was a dell, that was about 5 years ago for me, and it's still holding up pretty well.

Colleges are more up on having outlets everywhere, so battery life isn't that bad, but if you're serious and cost isn't an issue, I'd advise purchasing an extra battery.

In college, it's annoying having someone type next to you, so please try to get a lappy with a quiet keyboard.
