If you don't need all the latest bells and whistles, this is a good basic laptop. I use it for word processing, labels, data entry, but had to add the program for that (Microsoft). The used laptop is ready for Wifi or Bluetooth or even dial-up. I only have had Apple products, so I every thing was familiar to me.

Ya it's a good choice for a college student just be sure to get a good antivirus dont think that Norton is good enough. But the performance overall is good and is good at running multiple programs at once.

definitely! its perfect for a college student. its portable and pretty efficient. it runs windows 8 OS so you need to consider that in respect of applications you want to run (windows 8 compatible versions may be required)

I never tried, so I don't know, but this computer is supper slow. Can't use for anything, I threw away as soon as I got it

I own it and I am slowly building my own computer from it. No matter what I connect or consider adding, this computer can take it. Remember, though, that this is a mini tower, so you can't buy regular parts for it. You have to use the mini motherboard and everything else. I made that mistake and the poor seller agreed to take back the huge motherboard I had bought.

yes you can but i would recommend something in the fx 4xxx or fx 6xxx range, but if you just need a cheap processor and not doing heavy gaming it will work just fine.

Don't buy this computer .... there isn't a harddrive inside that's why it's so inexpensive .... look for another computer with similar specs but spend at least $125 on it .... you should be ok then

I wouldn't bother. You could easily buy an ssd and ram and do it yourself quite easily if your at all familiar with computers.

Yes, it would be great! Because this device is best of both worlds. It can be a laptop for both high school and college students in class, and be a tablet to read e-books online. In terms of usability, it depends on the student. It may be difficult at first if the student uses Mac before, because this laptop has the new Windows, and it's slightly different than the previous windows software. The case used for the laptop is carbon fiber, and it is light. The quality is great. Hope this answer your question

It will work well for a college student once they figure out Windows 8...which is full of clutter. Everything auto saves to the cloud so they might want to change that setting if they prefer to keep their info private.

it is a great machine for gaming and video editing and animation such as game design or auto cad. it would no doubt last for many years as long as it is taken care of. Viruses are more prominent on windows 7 so a good anti virus is needed but only other problem i good foresee for college is it is large and very heavy. not meant to really be taken around a large amount and after a little bit of time in your bag slung on your back/shoulder you would notice it very much so.

Absolutely. You can put whatever software you want locally or in the cloud. My daughter has this for college and works great.

If you have it you can use it, but its a server m/b and wants a more expensive server chip and memory. This is designed for high compute use, not video performance, and is not the latest & greatest board on the market either. There are newer, much better (desktop) boards available for the money, with the newer, faster PCI-E specifications, which is needed for the newest video cards. I wouldn't buy one if gaming was the prmary usage. Get a decent m/b, a mid-to-high Intel i5 ot i7 cpu, and then the best viseo card you can afford. You will need 16 Gb of memeory for some games these days, so make sure you start with 8 and have room to expand (4 slots x 4Gb is good enough) if you need it.

i am not a hard core programmer, and if you are a hardcore programmer and know your stuff, you might as well order all your own hardware and put your own laptop together. But as far as I know from my use of this machine, I would not trust it to do anything that would require a lot of memory or storage. It offers an asus web cloud storage software, but i don't use this. As far as internet browsing and research goes, how serious you make this is up to you, but the computer seems a bit flaky and will just start clicking on things i don't want it to.hope this was helpful.

Unfortunately I can not help you. I do not possess a laptop. If your system meets the minimum requirements I would think it would be okay. Wish you luck with this!!!

I'm afraid not. The technology in this computer is too old unfortunately. I bought one specifically to run older games and software.

It's a great little machine, but it is NOT gamer capable. That's totally not the market this is focused at - think of this thing as a modern "netbook". It's fine for browsing the web and general "office" apps, but you aren't going to want to run anything beyond web-based games on it.
