What Dell Laptop, would you suggest to a new college student?

I would recommend 15" screen, Intel Core or I series processor. Check out the Vostro line rather than the Inspiron or Studio. It's more of a small business/home business computer but it's built a lot more durably then the conusumer lines.

Costs about the same as the Inspiron Studio. I'm a PC tech and see a lot of abused laptops from college kids. Your brother may take care of it but will his roommates, significant other, their roommates, etc?Stay away from HP/Compaq, horrible overheating issues, or Toshiba, cheaply made.

You'll over pay for a Sony or Lenovo.

The Dell 14Z is lightweight at 4.3 lbs and has a 14 inch screen. The screen is not the biggest but the unit has good multimedia playback ability and is lightweight. It has a Duo processor and comes with Windows7 64bit.549 Recommended retail dell.com/us/en/dfh/notebooks/inspiron-14... For a student - I would buy the bigger batter as well.It gives you 11 hours vs 5 for the basic one.

Make sure you get the Wi-Fi option Check for cheap refurbished inventory here if price is an issue. But be ready to buy. Your window is only 15 minutes once put into the cart.

Comes with same warranty as a new one. outlet.us.dell.com.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
