Good specs for a laptop

[Safferbeauty]

I need to get a lap top for my studies. What are the good specs for getting a laptop. Please advise

Depends what your studies are, if it just involves lots of writing (typing) then anything will do.

OK I was it for college work keeping lots of music on it and surfing the internet

MacBooks are really popular in at colleges in the in states. Interestingly, in the last 2 years, they have become the most popular laptops at UCT as well.
Powerfull, comes standard with all the software you might need and a good price as well

EDIT :hmm...didn't see your comment regarding price. You will struggle to find a laptop that will age well for that price
