Love love love this backpack! My son is in the first grade and this backpack is so durable. We may even use it next year as it still looks brand new inside and out.

Probably would work. It is a little smaller than a larger backpack. My 9 year old grandson loves it even though it is a little big for him

Hey. I'm a college student myself and here's my two cents. Wireless internet is very much available all over pretty much any campus. From personal experience attending Boston University I can tell you that for me it is available in all classrooms, the library, and study lounges and the student Union. The one place it is not provided is in the dormitories themselves where they also discourage hosting your own wireless networks, though I have managed to stay under the radar making the network hidden which is really quite simple. The lack of an optical drive could prove somewhat inconvenient. I'd suggest getting her the special external drive Apple makes to accompany it. That would take care of installing software and importing music CDs. The only place where it'd be a very serious inconvenience would be the inability to play dvds on the move without an external drive. The iTunes rental service is pretty neat but it is still an inconvenience. I personally think that trade off is well worth the benefits of having a lighter machine however. The Mac OS could prove to be a barrier if her school uses some Windows only software. The chances are working in a group she would really just need Word, Powerpoint and Excel compatibility. Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac is a great program which plays very nicely with its Windows counterpart. A lot of specialized educational software solutions these days are browser based so operating system isn't even a problem. I have a cousin who was the proud owner of a Powerbook who made it out of law school a few years ago. She raved about her experience with it and I never heard any complaints of compatibility issues. I think a MacBook Air would be a really great and thoughtful gift. Good Luck.

Yes it is...this is the perfect bag for that, however, you really can not stuff the thing though. But yea perfect for college or work!

Yes, it would be perfect for this. It's lightweight as well so bringing it with you to class also wouldn't be difficult.

Perfectly! That's what I have :-) It takes a some getting used to. You won't be writing your Ph.D. thesis, or the great American novel with it, but it's great for light to medium use.

You can purchase either a stand alone wireless keyboard or a case with one attached to it. This would work for note taking in class as long as you had the room to have the keyboard. A lot of students have switched to using a Chromebook. Might want to look into the Chromebook option.

The best choice is the one that fits your needs. What will you be primarily using it for?

yes, it is heavy, seems to me that it would be an overkill for the university student either due to high price and/or high end computer specification. Although, I am (unfortunately) not university student anymore I enjoy the Qosmio X75-A7180 very much and do not regret the purchase.

We love our K145 OfficePro! It's perfect for a dorm or office! Get it. Your college guys (and friends) will not be disappointed.

I would get the MacBook Pro - the new ones have the new trackpad - and you get an Optical drive, Ethernet etc. You never know what kind of project you will be assigned or what type of medium your classmates will give you. And while I love my MBA - it wouldn't be worth taking the chance as a student. I would also recommend purchasing Office 2008 for macs while you are at it - while iWork 08 can read any file (.doc, .xls, .ppt) it usually screws up the formatting.

Hello: It should be just fine for school. These units have Office 2013 RT which is a lite version (not the full version) of the software. We hope to earn your business. Thanks Jim

I bought it for Christmas for our 9 year old grandson. He found it easy to maneuver. In college you'd have to figure out what to store it, put your books etcetera. I can only speak about how easy it was for a boy age 9.

It may be a bit too much to carry around for college classes. It's a rather large bag for just books and a laptop.

Hi Sultan, yes this Sony ICDTX50 is good for university lectures. It is compatible for most Windows based operating system and has an internal memory of 4GB and can be expanded up to 32 GB (micro SD). In addition, it has a compatible high-speed USB port for faster file transfer. Its sleek dimension also provide easy carry and handling. -Ely

This is a backpack that can hold alot of stuff. It is one of the largest that I have seen. Yes, it would be very good for a college student.

yes. I don't see why not. It is easy to use and has all the Microsoft software that a college or HS student would need plus.

I think it's a perfect size if they have a laptop to carry around with other stuff. However, it would be very easy to over stuff it with books and paper, which might make it too heavy. As long as they pack it wisely and don't over load it, it should work great for students!
