I graduated in the mid 2000s and I never used laptops / notebooks for school. I’m trying to understand schoolings on laptops / notebooks because I got this arm / mobile 5G laptop with windows 10 and using programs on the device is very limited and I can’t use 64-bit programs but I can use old 32-bit programs but it’s emulated. I do have Microsoft office installed on the device. Also I got nieces and nephews who are in school using laptops / notebooks for schooling.
What devices and apps you use for school / College?
Do you use your laptop / notebook for School or College?
Well to answer your question, I used to use 2 low end Lenovo laptops, and currently using a lower mid range Acer gaming laptop. Of course now in 2022 it's considered low end, but back in 2019 when I bought this it wasn't. My Lenovo laptops were Flex 3-1480 ultrabook and IdeaPad 310 15ABR notebook, while the Acer model is Nitro 5 AN15-54 Intel.
I don't know why writing B with a right bracket shows that emoji. Also the IdeaPad wasn't really much of an upgrade and only got it cause of complications with Lenovo customer service. I used the Flex from September 2016 to March 2017 while IdeaPad used from March 2017 to December 2019. I should've just stuck with the Flex but I can't go back in the past and fix my mistakes.
I replaced the 1TB HDD with a 128GB 2.5" SSD from some no name brand later on for the IdeaPad. I also used to have a 1TB HDD for my Acer laptop until I broke it lol. As you may or may not tell, the Acer laptop was a huge upgrade over my previous laptops and I had to pay more money for it ofc. The Flex was 800 CAD at MSRP but it was on discount at the time for 600 CAD. The IdeaPad was 750 CAD at MSRP though on sale at 600 CAD. My current Acer was 1000 CAD full price but reduced to 800 CAD. They were all more expensive at online stores however I bought them in stores so they were cheaper.
Yeah even though the M1 chips have far better specs and performance than previous Intel chips they used, MacBooks are still costing thousands of dollars (except for Air model which is bad anyways). If I have to fork out like 2-5K USD for a flagship laptop that doesn't even include dedicated graphics and can't have it's RAM and SSD replaced, I might as well go for a custom built HEDT PC with way better specs and performance than any Mac. And yes, that even includes the M1 Ultra where Apple claimed it's iGPU destroys the RTX 3090 but third party benchmarks showed the opposite.
Nope. I have a laptop and a desktop but for some reason I just like grabbing my pen & paper for literally anything. I'm currently working on my first book which I'm writing on paper. I don't know if there's something wrong with me but typing is just not for me lol
It's to make sure everyone has a computer at home and it's basically for surfing the web for information and writing essays and other schools tasks. I never had a school computer and if I got one I probably wouldn't have used it much because I had better stuff myself and would have used those.
I'm 31 now; but yes I used my laptop in undergrad and I use my laptop now in graduate school. I think a laptop is just an essential way of life in 1st world countries.
I graduated college just as computers were becoming popular. We did not use laptops though. The college had a computer lab where you could use a word processor or access the internet.
