I need a reliable computer to do my online courses with. Does this have everything a student would need?

It should work fine for you as a student. I've had this laptop for a number of yrs and I've had no problems with it. I use it for Word and Excel. I purchased it as a refurbished unit and it has performed quite well. I use it to work on from home at times. I refuse to purchase another one unless this one completely dies on me. I hope this helps you in your decision to purchase a Lenovo laptop.

While this is a lovely laptop for old video games, it is not suitable for student use because the Intel Core Duo Processors (notice the lack of a "2" after "Core") are only 32-bit. All modern consumer computers have 64-bit processors. The minimum for student use would be two 64-bit processors. Anything with only one processor would be painfully slow on the Internet. Anything with 32-bit processors might be unable to run a piece of software that a student might need because that software is 64-bit only. A Thinkpad T400 might be adequate. Make sure you get 64-bit Windows 7.

No. What you are looking for may be a bit more expensive. The teen would probably be unhappy with the Intel HD graphics, as they only provide limited functionality for that type of use. I would instead go for a computer that is a BYOS (build your own system). This way, costs are kept down and performance is higher.

Of course!This is the model I still use and it does (almost) everything I ask of it.Certain videos can be a problem, but all else of a basic nature runs fine on this 11-year-old machine.

This PC will do all that well and the price is usually good. I found mine on Amazon about $500 dollars.

I have had no issues with it. I bought it for an online class I had, and it worked great for me. Just make sure it has the plug you need for it, I had to buy an adapter.

For the price you will get solid performance. All the specs are listed on the amazon page. The only problem I ran is with 64bit operating systems

Hi Mary! Yes, this would be a good choice . The computer screen is not too heavy and it's relatively fast if all you will be using it for is solitaire. Hope this helps!

With just 2GB memory this computer runs very slow. I Think for a college student you should find one with more memory. I regret buying this one because you cannot add to it. Hope this helps.

This laptop will be fine for school use but as far as the games that would depend on the requirements that the game needs to run properly.

This is a good all purpose laptop, remember though, you would need to add your own word processor and other office (school) tools. OpenOffice (openoffice.org) is very good and there are other free ones as good as MS Office. I agree it is a bit large, but you get a numeric keypad if that's a plus for you.

Maybe, though you might consider a cheap chrome laptop for student work, if you expect to be writing very much, doing much research. OTOH, if you are likely to use it mostly for reading, calendar, texting, music, it might be a good bet.

NO, it is barebone so it needs a hard drive and memory. It requires an operating system as well whether you want to go open source with Linux or use Windows. I

Although this computer performs very well and has touch screen I would not recommend it for school use. Computers for school use are best if they are mobile. I would recommend the Samsung Slate or the Surface with Windows 8 that should be available around Feb 9. I do not recommend the current Surface with Windows RT. The price is tempting but there are too many limitations regarding software that requires the desktop environment of Windows.

it is a great computer and i highly recommend it. it has been reliable since the day i bought it and has never caused me any problems.

It should do ok with those programs but I haven't used them much on it. There is a good amount of ram and everything that I have run so far that has been fairly intensive has worked well. I would recommend this laptop to pretty much anyone. Great deal for a great product.
