๐จ Before you spend hundreds of thousands on a laptop, read this.
Every year, parents and students make the same costly mistakeโthey buy a laptop because it's cheap, only to discover it can't keep up with university demands.
In this post, I've shared 3 types of laptops I generally wouldn't recommend for today's university students.
Why?
Because university isn't just about typing assignments anymore. Students are using: ๐ Research tools ๐ป Microsoft Office ๐ Dozens of browser tabs ๐ฅ Zoom & Google Meet ๐ค AI tools like ChatGPT ๐จโ๐ป Coding software (for some courses)
A laptop that struggles with these tasks can become frustrating long before graduation.
โ ๏ธ This doesn't mean every older laptop is useless. It means you should choose a laptop that matches your course, workload, and budgetโnot just the lowest price.
๐ Swipe through the slides and tell me:
Which laptop are you currently using, and how has your experience been?
