College schedules call for students to be constantly on the go, so connecting to the internet virtually anywhere via laptop is a must. These days laptops are convenient, lightweight, and very fashionable. You can complete all your assignments conveniently while on the go in any coffee shop, library or dorm room, worry-free. There has not been a better time than now to search for laptops available to students who are heading back to school.

We have listed some of the best laptop features students should consider for the upcoming school year:

1. Processor speed

The Dell XPS 15 is the top choice laptop with a powerful processor. It may cost more, but it’s well worth it. Many students have purchased this laptop for their 2019 school year just for it’s speed across multiple needs, including general word processing and office functions, email, streaming, and it even has impressive graphic design capabilities.

2. Operating system

When it comes to the best, the Acer Chromebook 15 is a great device that uses the Google Chrome operating system. Most students like this all-round computer as they can use it throughout their college years for all research and shopping purposes. Google docs, which is still free, is easy to learn and use with just about any type of laptop.

3. Speakers and screen resolution

Broadcast media and web lectures have become part of many college courses. Make sure your laptop has good speakers and high-resolution webcams that are already integrated into your device. Look for a laptop that already comes with all types of features. With some models, you can also get an add-on for a bit more money.

4. Software

Once you purchase your laptop, you will need to look into the types of software that will protect your identity and VPN or virtual private network. Encryption software between you and the internet, and the use of private filters are a big must so nobody will be able to access and use your data information.
