Old school, meet new tech: how today’s laptops are ideal for student life

When you’re at college or uni, a laptop isn’t just for studying. It’s the Netflix bingeing, Spotify streaming, note taking, social life organising hub for every waking moment. And today’s latest laptops have the speed, the smarts and the stamina to be with you all the way.

These aren’t your parents’ laptops. There’s been a revolution in laptop tech, and in just a few short years they’ve been utterly transformed. Today’s laptops deliver more performance and last longer than ever before, making them ideal for student living.

If you browse the range at AO.com you’ll see the incredible benefits of the latest laptop tech. Screens have become incredibly sharp, and some are touchscreens. Others can twist and turn to make your laptop into a tablet. Slow hard disks have been superseded by silent, super-speedy SSDs. And the days when your laptop would run out of puff long before you did are long gone. Today’s batteries are incredibly slim but deliver incredible battery life. 

Of course, if we were presenting this as a college or uni assignment we’d be expected to substantiate our claims. So let’s get substantiating. First up, we’d show you the HP Envy x360 2PN04EA which has a rubbish name and a spectacular screen that swiftly turns into a tablet, the equally impressive and flexible Lenovo Yoga 730 and the spectacular Acer Spin 1. All three laptops have Windows Ink, making them ideal lecture companions as well as powerful laptops.

Then we’d show you the Lenovo IdeaPad 320S, its impossibly slim, stylish design packing plenty of processing power for both work and play as well as enough battery for 12 hours from a single charge. For the creatives we’d present the stunning HP Pavilion x360 4BX53EA with its 8th generation Intel® Core™ i5 processor, dedicated Photoshop-friendly graphics card and roomy 256GB SSD. And for the serious power users, we’d talk about the Lenovo S730 81J0000NUK’s powerful 8th generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor, 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM.
