Description :
Notebook computers have become the must-have tool for college students. It's a tool that gives the student a competitive edge in college life. It makes academic success a much easier goal to attain because it helps you, as a student, with tasks, organization and assignments.
In many colleges, notebooks are a required item. Instructors use them to have students review material, download files and some will communicate only via email. Notebook prices have come down considerably, so affordability should not be an issue for most students.
Whether you're a parent or a student, here are some reasons to consider why every college student should own a notebook:
1. It's small
That makes it lightweight, easy to carry and fits well in a backpack or under your arm.

4. It's wireless
Hotspots to connect to the Internet wirelessly are all over college campuses and surrounding areas. It will be easy to connect to the Internet on the go. The Internet is a valuable research tool for college, and being that it can be accessed anywhere, research and studying can be done anywhere. Use USB ports for additional storage for expandability for files and programs.

6. It's a student aid
Notebooks allow you to run software associated with textbooks, or which your instructor may require you to access. You will have access to college email and the college's network and remote-access services that your classes rely on. No more lab time just to access a computer, you can work in your dorm room or at home. You can install software of your choice that you find easy to use, to do such tasks as word processing and spreadsheet development, for example.

7. It's central
Your notebook is a central location to keep all your files, homework, notes, correspondence, research, calendar, and can also be used as a communication tool with family and friends. A program like Skype, paired with a web cam and mic, will be a great way to stay in touch with the folks and friends back home.
