Desktop for College Students

Is a desktop for college students the best choice? Gone are the days when a computer was an option or a luxury for a college student, it is now a necessity as academic reliance on computer technology continues to increase. So, knowing what you really in need as a student between a desktop and a laptop and choosing the right PC is a big decision.

This could be one of the best decisions you can make as you prepare to head off to college in various situations. Though most people may decide to use a laptop, there are few reasons why to invest in a desktop? If you plan to take this step, you can look for few key things when choosing a desktop. The best desktop computers for college students still need to meet their basic needs in terms of functionality. So, where do you start when it comes to finding the best option?

Who Is a Desktop Best For?

Desktops will be good computers for college students. This includes those who are looking for multiple functionality and high performance. If you are a gamer and plan to game while away, then a desktop is going to be a more affordable option for the best graphics and features. The students enjoy a desktop if they are going to study and work just in their dorm. Or, if a student plans to study at home through an online program, a desktop can work well. Sometimes, students need and want both a laptop and a desktop. That is a good reason to invest in a high-quality desktop as well. If you need high performance and the ability to cope up with all the high-end applications and games, then a desktop will be the best choice.

What to Look for When Buying a College Desktop

No matter what type of desktop you buy, the best desktop for college students provides ample ability to meet their needs. For a student taking advanced computer programming or video editing classes, having a highly functional and robust system is going to be worthwhile. If you just need a basic computer for day-to-day use, you may not need to invest in the highest end features. Here is what to consider when buying one.

Start with the processor and operating system

You can buy a Windows or other operating system if you want. Choose based on what you like to use if you have a strong preference. If you do not, take few minutes to check out the various features of a Windows versus other OS model. What you will find is that windows have more of features that make using it a bit easier than other models. You may also find that a desktop can provide you with outstanding functionality for high-end software programs.

On the other hand, the best computer for college will be a Windows-based model. One of the best reasons to go with Windows is that you can surf multiple apps with gaming features than you can with another operating system in the market. Hence it will lead you to explore the space to customize your system, too.

Depending on your needs, you may need to invest heavily in a good processor. Spend more on a higher-end and more powerful processor, like an Intel model, if you need a high-performance system. If your classes use various software programs or you need to use editing software, it is best to go with a higher-powered processor. The best computer for college really will be the one that allows you to get the best possible experience while using it. As you do not want to get restricted by its functionality.

Go with ample storage

It is also the right decision to buy computers for college students that offer one of two things. For those who are just starting to learn, a basic level of RAM and storage may be enough. In this case, be sure you can upgrade over time. That is critical to ensuring the best overall function. If you do not go this route, invest in a computer now that has a high-capacity RAM and storage already on board. For those that do not want to make changes later, this is the best route to take overall. That may mean spending a bit more now, but it may be worthwhile. Even in this situation, be sure the desktop still offers enough room to add more RAM to it. You can also always add an external hard drive for even more storage should you need that later.

Consider your monitor

When buying a desktop for your use at college, be sure to carefully consider the monitor you select to use with the tower. There are other different options out there. It can be confusing to know which monitors or computers for college students are the best. Few things to be consider are important at the start:

Size Matters - Consider having to author a research paper. You want a monitor that is large enough to allow you to have multiple documents open, and it still allows you to easily see everything on each page. More real estate costs, though. For that reason, you may not need a huge monitor. Aim for 24-inches to 27-inches in most cases.

Resolution - One key thing to consider when choosing monitors is the quality of the visuals. You want to know you are going to have a fantastic look at everything you are watching. If you are using this, just to release papers, you may not need a minimum resolution. However, if you are doing photo editing, research projects that require more data, or planning to watch few movies, one should want a proficient level here.

Built-in Features - Few of the monitors come with built-in speakers, which can drastically make it easier for you to manage your system rather than having speakers that you need to connect to it. You also want to think about the overall inputs on the monitor – be sure they are enough to line up with the tower and any other items you are adding to it.

What to Look for in a Computer for College

Which are the best desktop computers for college students? It all comes down to what is going to work for the way you need to use it. For those who are planning to invest in a desktop model, there are few things on which one will focus.

Buy for value but put features first

When you are comparing all the computer options available to you, one of the most important things you can do is to prioritize features. That is especially important when it comes to things like your computer’s processor, RAM, and storage. Buy first for features and then look for the best price.

A budget model is an option for the customers, especially college students that do not plan to do high use with the desktop beyond the day-to-day functions

Be honest with your planned use

You are away from home and studying hard. Likely to turn to a desktop for specific reasons? That may include gaming. If you may decide to play intense games online, you need more functionality. You do not want to be disappointed when your computer cannot keep up.

Also, look long-term into your education. If you are likely to take courses that are going to require various software and performance features, it is best to just buy that now. Most desktops can last for years and are dependable throughout that time. That means that the desktop you buy now in the first year may still be a great option with all the functionality you need for graduate school.

Know where you will put it

Another factor that most students do not think about is where they will use their desktops. Because these are larger computer systems, as they tend to occupy more space in your room. It is possible to buy a smaller monitor and a slim tower if you have limited space. Or you may need to buy a desk that provides a vast access and support to you for your new desktop.
