On College Campuses across the country, you are seeing more and more students using PC's in the classroom. PC's are a perfect fit for a college student because they are light and easy to take notes on. Organizing notes is also much easier on a PC then with pen and paper. Notebooks are also very useful for quickly logging online and are great for keeping notes organized all while double checking facts or doing research online.
Students want their Notebooks to be lightweight, but also rugged and durable. They need to be light enough to carry around campus all day. But they need to be able to handle the rough treatment that most students subject them to. They need to be able to handle being tossed into a back pack and light enough to not be a burden when walking across campus.
Battery life is also a feature that is important to student when it comes to picking the right PC. If a student is on campus all day, it may not be easy to recharge a battery so it is very important for a long battery life. You definitely do not want for your batteries to die in the middle of a lecture or while working at the library.
Size is very important too. Notebooks need to be thin and small enough to fit on a cramped desk, or even to be able to fit on your lap because desks are not always available.
And finally, one of the most important features that a college student is looking for in a pc is price. On a student's budget, many of the notebooks on the market are out of the question.
If you are a student in the market for a PC, you may want to consider the Twinhead Durabook N14RA. This pc is decently priced and quite durable. The company's websites claims this pc to be drop resistant, shock resistant
