Is it good for college student or doing online classes

If you haven't bought it, buy it. Like all the other reviewers state this tablet is fantastic

Yes, absolutely. To be honest I haven't used my home computer since I got this. I use it for everything. I love it. You won't be disappointed

It's awesome for research and note taking, I was able to access and download PDf articles from my online college library and annotate them very easily. However I could not unlock copyrighted school text books using this tablet. I bet a windows tablet could fix this issue, I haven't taken any classes online with this tablet. I've read some reviews from college students and teachers who love this tablet for their work. If you like to draw nothing in this price range comes anywhere close, it is the best.

I'd have to say yes but I dropped out of college early on and I use mine to simultaneously send e-mails, check online specifications, create spreadsheets, and watch YouTube.

I think you'd like this laptop. Ease of use is more an operating system issue than the computer itself. This laptop comes with Windows 7 AND Windows 8 so you have a choice. A lot of people prefer the older Windows 7 environment and that's what's loaded. If you decide to move to Windows 8, the disks are provided for that. The computer itself is well laid out and the touch-pad works well as do the other features like the WiFi. As with any computer, there will be a learning curve, so don't expect to jump in without a little training or help. This laptop would be excellent for school and internet use. Nothing to maintain except the battery (needs a charge ever so often), and the keyboard is shielded so it's less prone to dust & gunk than some models.

You get 2 discs that you install onto your computer. After you install the discs the program is ready to use for offline learning as much as you want. The online portion is good and with the purchase of the program, you get a 3 month membership. I like the games, and I do think its worth trying. If you have a laptop, smart phone or tablet, you could always go to an Internet café or somewhere like a library that has free WI-FI for the online portion.

The Create is a good tool. I'm a graphic designer and I use the Create both at home and at work. If you try to find something bigger or better you're going to spend a lot of money... and since you're a student you might not be ready to shell out the big bucks.

Not sure what you mean by the online portion. Also not aware of any time restrictions on it. You might be referring to the forums, where you can discuss problems, questions, etc. and download some extra materials, such as podcasts. Or you might be referring to the web-based version of the program, which is just that, a web-based replica of the program, that's available as a "go-anywhere" learning tool. So, a) I don't believe there's anything time limited in the system, online or otherwise. b) Nothing online is essential, and the only supplementary material can be downloaded all at once anyway.

Yes. It is also available for teachers, and other staff of a university, so as a fellow you should be fine. Use your .edu email when verifying! When on the product page there is a link that says "more details" after describing the requirements for buying the student & teacher edition.

It has some issues. The touchpad stops working sometimes apparently without any reason. Also it gets very slow sometimes, hopefully that's because of windows so it could be fixed with an update. I'd say it's good for a student, my question would be, What kind of student? what software are you using? FYI, it can run autocad and solidworks well...

It's great. I bought it for my sister for college. I think it's worth the money. She thinks so too.

Working online is ok, using an online word processing program ok or the one built in for online use...but functionally for software I don't know...

I would say it depends on your download speed. I have VERY SLOW internet where I live. It works great on the computer as an application. However, you may be able to utilize some of the online tutorials better than I. As far as instruction goes, I think you get the same stuff, either way. I did the download and I am loving it.

I have had this laptop for a couple of years now and it has worked fine for me, i use this laptop to do my college homework on it. I have never done anything on it with editing videos but i believe there are programs you can download to edit videos on this laptop if you would be interested in looking that up to be totally sure, if you would want to go another way some other great laptop brands that are really good are HP, Acer, Asus, and Lenovo

Yes, this is very suitable for a college student. The iPad becomes slightly heavier because of this case, but the convenience of having a keyboard is really worth it. To charge, you need to connect it to a computer. Thus, if you do not have a computer, this case is not recommended. It comes with the cable for charging.

I think the lap top will have all that a college student would ever need. My only gripe was Windows 8.I gave it to a college kid, he is happy with it. Its worth the money.

Yes it will work good for school and home and you can play movies on it ... My son also plays mindcraft on it and it works very well

It's a good laptop for college, just know that it is older unless the seller has updated it so if they have not then you will be limited as far as downloads go. I actually have a new Macbook Air and with Macs they are already limited and then you add the age would make it very limited with basic downloads like Adobe, etc. Try looking around locally on Craigslist and you may find one that are updated with the newest OS. Hope this was helpful.

Yes. It is very easy to use. Good for BASIC documentation and storage. Don't know if it will hold up to today's school work.

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.
