🚨 Before you spend hundreds of thousands on a laptop, read this.
Every year, parents and students make the same costly mistake—they buy a laptop because it's cheap, only to discover it can't keep up with university demands.
In this post, I've shared 3 types of laptops I generally wouldn't recommend for today's university students.
Why?
Because university isn't just about typing assignments anymore. Students are using: 📚 Research tools 💻 Microsoft Office 🌐 Dozens of browser tabs 🎥 Zoom & Google Meet 🤖 AI tools like ChatGPT 👨💻 Coding software (for some courses)
A laptop that struggles with these tasks can become frustrating long before graduation.
⚠️ This doesn't mean every older laptop is useless. It means you should choose a laptop that matches your course, workload, and budget—not just the lowest price.
👉 Swipe through the slides and tell me:
Which laptop are you currently using, and how has your experience been?
