Being a college student you need a laptop that is not going to give you any trouble. If you use a PC during college you are immediately in the “uncool” crowd as you don’t have an apple logo on the back of your monitor. It is amazing how good apple does with their marketing. Well anyway, I digress. The Dell Inspiron 1545 is about a third of the price of a macbook and will give you the ability to surf the internet, listen to music and write your thesis all without crashing or giving you any problems.
Assuming you know your way around a computer and are able to trouble shoot the simplest of problems you can save a lot of money buying a pc for college versus a mac. Keep it up to date with all the updates and don’t go web browsing in “bad neighborhoods” on the internet.
The inspiron 1545 has a nice large screen and plenty of hard drive space for all your applications and music. This will make your college stay a lot nicer as long as you have a carrying case for it that will protect it in case you accidently drop it. I dropped mine once and had to replace the screen. I am pretty tech savvy so I was able to do it myself with the help of dell’s support site. I didn’t have mine in a nice case like an incase but after I replaced the screen I went out and bought one right away so that wouldn’t happen again.
Some other things I have found to be annoying with this laptop while at college is that the power supply is acting up on me and now it isn’t charging anymore so I constantly have to have it plugged in if I want to use it. I think it might be a faulty power supply or the connection where the power supply plugs into the computer might have come un-welded.
I would also like to say that I would definitely upgrade the laptop from the standard configuration that dell gives you. I chose to upgrade the screen to the extra bright, glossy screen and I also upgraded the wireless card to draft n protocol. It wasn’t that much to upgrade these things and it was well worth it. This is especially true with all the typing I do on this while in college.
So all in all you can save yourself a ton of money buying a dell inspiron 1545 laptop directly from Dell’s website rather than buying an apple macbook. I have also found you can get the best deal from buying directly from Dell’s website. I found it is even a better deal than buying from the discount stores like tiger direct and the like. College is rough enough by itself; you don’t need a crappy laptop dragging you down while you are trying to excel during the best years of your life.

With the economy being the way it is, students are having a hard time making ends meet. School and education can be very costly and so are the tools that go along with that trade. With meal plans, text board and housing, any student can be incredibly over whelmed by the power of how much it actually takes out of pocket to attend school. Computers have become a necessity in college and laptops have always been more feasible than desk top PCs. However, now with the Dell student discount program, this financial burden of a computer can be eased off these struggling student’s minds.
Dell offers a student discount for higher education purposes. The program is to help cushion the burden of adding yet another expense to your educational needs. The Dell discount program is geared to mirror that of the employee discount program; hence it is called EPP on your invoice statement. This is to give the feel of being part of the Dell family. To be a part of all this, the first one need to do is sign up at delluniversity.com, the website for the program. Once there you chose whether you’re a student or a student’s parent. Then you chose what state and school you are in. However, not alls schools are part of the program but most of them are worldwide. In the end the discount is anywhere from 5% to 12% off your purchase added on top of any other Dell sales or deals going on at the time.
Other competitors offer similar deals and discount programs but they aren’t exactly the best for the college life. Apple student discounts for example really target the computers and needed accessories for K-12 schools. That’s kindergarten to senior year of high school. That’s not really what you need at the college level. Hewlett Packard also offers a sizeable student discount program, however their program isn’t as good as some of the actually HP sales you would find. So why bother with a program that will not stack or outshine the standard that everyone else off the street can find? A student discount should be for students and not anyone else and that is exactly what the Dell student discount program delivers.
Life made simple, that’s the motto of Dell. And life can be simple with an Inspiron 17R Laptop which runs roughly around $699 and as low as $21 a month in payments. You can customize this laptop with a variety of features and excellent photo sharing. With a wireless display on an impressive 17.3 inch widescreen high-definition monitor display. One can even choose between an Intel Core i3 and i5 processor.
Or make the most of your day with the Inspiron 15 Laptop. This valuable Dell laptop comes at just under $429 and can be paid off for as a little as $15 a month. With a Pentium dual-core processor and the new Windows 7 64-bit included. This beauty is sporting a high-definition screen on a 15.6 inch widescreen LED display. Complete with a built-in webcam and microphone so you can stay in touch with your loved ones at home whole at school.
As anyone can see, Dell supplies the finest in computer laptops out there and they already come at affordable prices but they also make sure that our youth’s educational needs are met. Why not look into the Dell student discount program? It could be very much worth your weight in gold.
