What is the best laptop for college?

[Ir]

Laptops can be heavy. Netbooks are smaller. If you're just doing writing and internetting any of them will be ok but will need to be wi-fi enabled if your 'college' has free wi-fi. If it doesn't you won't be able to get on the internet unless you plug a pay-as-you-go dongal into the usb port. Also some laptops look smaller than most including the Sony Vaio, and the Macbook Air is said to be light in weight. Depending on how long you're going to be using it for each day the most important spec will be how long the battery lasts. Some netbooks claim up to 10 hours, some laptops say 3 hours.
