How to Choose a Best Laptop for School & College Students in 2020 | Best Laptops for Online Classes in 2020


The COVID19 has compelled the education system to go online. Schools and colleges from every corner of the country are trying to adopt this new way of teaching completely to avoid social contact physically.

Luckily, we have internet available in almost all parts of the country. Students have been listening to classes over live sessions from their smartphones which is not productive on the whole.

A smartphone distracts a lot with a stream of notifications while taking classes. If you are a parent watching this video, I suggest you buy a decent laptop for them.

Assuming the students from all levels of study, I will be helping you figure out how to choose a laptop for your children for studying.


Best laptops for school students

A normal minimal configuration with 4GB RAM and that comes with integrated graphics is enough for casual browsing, reading ebooks, watching videos, and taking notes. If you do more than what I just said, wait for my further suggestions. 

Here are some of the best picks for you:

1. Lenovo Ideapad S145 - [https://amzn.to/2VDQDKf]
2. ASUS VivoBook 15 X509FA - [https://amzn.to/3i6HB1P]
3. Lenovo V15 - [https://amzn.to/2VnrbZ2]
4. ASUS VivoBook 15 X512FA - [https://amzn.to/2YzJcWe]
5. DELL Inspiron 3493 - [https://amzn.to/3g3IpCJ]

Best laptops for college students

College going students will have specific requirements depending on the courses they choose. So, the preferences should also be different. If you are a typical Indian parent watching this, do not compare the configuration your son or daughter asks for with preferences of a neighbour teenager.

Best laptops for Computer Sciences students

As it hints, computer sciences would have programming languages subjects. Not all programming languages require the same configuration. So, it is always better to buy the best highest available configuration suggested in the curriculum.

As a laptop can be used for at least 4-5 years, consider subjects in the entire course while making a decision. 

A student programmer would need at least 8GB of RAM, i5 8th Gen or later, 1TB HDD, 2GB dedicated graphics on the board. The configuration is sufficient at the student level. Most of the universities in India design courses for Windows operating system. Some courses need a Linux platform which can be installed on a virtual machine. macOS is a rare requirement and if have it in your curriculum, try installing it in the virtual machine. It is obvious that you need more RAM if you are looking at a virtual machine on Windows.

4. DELL Inspiron 5584 Laptop - [https://amzn.to/2B5ffED]
5. Lenovo Legion Y540 - [https://amzn.to/3i3YHNH]

Best laptops for Graphic Designers and Multimedia students

The syllabus for graphic designer and multimedia students might vary for a university to university. Keeping in mind about the common software programs that they use on their systems, I recommend them to take 16GB RAM, 4GB Dedicated Graphics, i7 9th Gen or later, 1TB HDD coupled with 256GB SSD for faster rendering reading and writing speeds. A windows machine with this configuration can be bought at the similar price of a starting price range of a Mac. So make your choice wisely. 

We have listed out some best laptops for graphic designers and multimedia students. Here they are:

1. Lenovo Legion Y540 - [https://amzn.to/3dGFJcC]
2. Dell G3 3579 - [https://amzn.to/2VooXc2]
3. Razer Blade 15 - [https://amzn.to/3eCwGdX]
4. MSI GP65 Leopard 9SD - [https://amzn.to/2YA1kPJ]
5. HP Omen 15-dc1007TX - [https://amzn.to/3eEA87U]

Best laptops for Arts, Commerce and Journalism students

As these students would not use much of the graphics and processing capabilities, any laptop with moderate configuration will be sufficient.

Pick a machine with 8GB RAM for smooth multi-tasking and prefer i5 8th Gen or later version. You don't actually need i7 as you will not be running any heavy software. If you ever prefer a high configuration, you might not use its full power once at least. If you are looking at the fluidity terms in every day's work, you may go for Mac based on your affording capability.
