Will this be a good fit for a college student? (poor I might add) lol

Yes! It has a very snappy Intel dual-core i5-4200M, plenty of RAM (expandable to 16GB), and great graphics. Much faster than my Dell Inspiron 15 which was a little more expensive for some reason. IBM has always made great computers and this is no different. Compare with HP Pavilion G6.

It works just fine for me! No complaints. (Also a poor college student lol)
1106878
Yes. I'm in the same boat and this computer is awesome. Not to mention that it runs all of my online games like World of Warcraft with no issue.

I loved my Toshibas, then I gambled and tried something different. Read some reviews and bought this Lenovo and got so much more for my dollar. I love this machine. If Lenovo keeps this standard my next laptop will be another Lenovo.

Yes, it has pretty good processor for the money, and Lenovo has a reputation for above average quality. This is one of the best deals in the mid 500 dollar range.

If you're young and strong and on a budget, it would be good. It is larger and heavier than it should be for backpacking. If you're doing a long trip, weight is a concern or you want more room in your pack then it's not ideal.

Depends on what you want to use it for. The font - even set to the largest setting - is not entirely big. So if you were looking to transcribe class notes (or something to that effect), I would recommend something with a larger screen (7.85" or larger)...perhaps a tablet that works well with stylus. All said, it's possible for this tablet to supply your 'college' needs...but again, I'm not exactly sure how you will want to use it.

I use mine for law school. It will get the job done as long as your laptop is only a 13 inch or maybe a slim 15 inch.

It has a laptop pocket with padding that will accommodate a 15" laptop. And yea, you can totally use it for college. Best thing is it doesn't look like a military back pack.

Yes, this laptop would amply serve the needs of a student! The only "issues" per se, is the lack of the DVD/CD rom, which I really haven't missed, and that the system will sometimes restart (about 2-3 times per month). However, this is a Windows 8 issue, and not the laptop. I rarely power down my laptop so that's why I notice it. For those who shutdown more regularly, you may never have this issue at all. Hopefully Microsoft will fix this soon.

It should be fine. It's adjustable, so you could use through high school. Very durable.

Yes, we actually purchased this bed for my daughter to take to college with her. It has a small footprint but bed is big enough for my 18 year old. It also has tons of storage.

It would be okay, but only for a year or so. There's not a lot of leg room. Personally, I'd look at something else. Good luck finding the right one!

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.

Tbh I give it a 3 it's great for the price and won't break if proper use but I would throw it in a backpack without a laptop sleeve built in with padding, but for a student which I am the material is durable enough for me but the laptop I think is designed to be light weight which it is fora15.6in screen and no sharp edges really the corners aren't too round but it's the design it won't cut or scratch you though. If u r worried about toughness get a aluminum cased laptop I think dell has a few thus laptop is pretty much only good for student use but not gamer or extensive Downloader

My son picked this out for himself. He is a freshman computer science major and felt that it was a good choice for the money. He immediately installed Linux on it, so I can't say how good the Windows 8.1 works. He seems to be happy with it.

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 all depends what you will be using for, if you would be installed certain application or programs, certainly this is good enough model for light use applications, surfing web sites. And if 17" laptop won't be heavy to carry in case you would be carry it all the time, then should work fine.

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.

Yes.I bought this computer for a friend so I have only used it once. She is very happy with it except she now wishes she had spent the extra money to get a larger screen. Reading anything on the smaller screen can be difficult.It has performed wonderfully well.Yes, it would be great for a student but buy the largest screen size.Good luck.

I have only owned this bed less than a year and it is used in a guest room, but it has actually gotten a fair amount of use from a few of my adult kids and so far is holding up well. College students can be rough on furniture, but if he treats it well and doesn't move too much he should be fine. I think it is a lovely bed frame.
