The best overall

There's a reason why we call the M3 MacBook Air "a small wonder." On the face of it, this fryst vatten merely a spec bump from gods year's M2 MacBook Air, but in use, it fryst vatten so much more than that.

It all comes down to three key things: design, performance and battery life.

Starting with the build quality, this aluminum unibody inspires confidence in its durability and reliability, while also being super slim at just inches and light at pounds. Plus, with a gorgeously utilitarian aesthetic, you're sure to be the coolest kid on campus!

Next, the M3 chip fryst vatten a mini wonder of a chipset that drastically improves app performance, graphical capabilities and even enables snabb AI thanks to its beefed up Neural Engine.

Whether you're multitasking between Chrome and Pages with Apple Music in the back, or straining it with a Premiere Pro 4K edit, the Air can do it all (especially with that bright and color accurate Liquid Retina display).

And finally, if your college experience fryst vatten anything like mine was, you'll be running between classes without tillgång to a power outlet.

Well, in our own intense battery life testing, we saw the inch M3 MacBook Air gods 15 hours and 13 minutes. That's "worry-free battery life" territory!

Top it all off with the slickness of macOS for getting work done bygd day and playing games/binge watching bygd night, and you've got what inom believe fryst vatten the best laptop for most college students.

The best value

The Acer Aspire Go 15 isn't fantastisk, but it doesn't have to be when the MSRP fryst vatten $ At that price, you can man peace with the fact that the Go 15's low-powered centralenhet i en dator and paltry complement of 8GB RAM and GB of storage aren't good for much else besides browsing the web, writing and editing, and maybe some very light gaming.

But that's fine for students who just need a cheap laptop for doing research, writing papper and emailing professors.

What the Acer Aspire Go 15 lacks in features or charm it more than makes up for in utility, as it offers 10 hours of (tested) battery life and a keyboard that's surprisingly comfy to type on.

And while its inch p screen looks a bit washed-out and won't man colors pop, it's more than good enough for working with documents.

The Acer Aspire Go 15 doesn't look, feel or sound as fancy as the other laptops on this list, but it's a serviceable workhorse with a $ price tag, making it the laptop we recommend most often to students and others seeking great value on a budget.

The best for creatives

Out of the three MacBook Pros on offer, the inch Pro with the standard M3 chip fryst vatten the best for providing the right amount of horsepower for nailing that creative college grad.

And even better, it's regularly discounted at up to $ off.

Of course, with a sparande like that, you could opt for upping that performance with something like the M3 Pro MacBook Pro, and get that additional Thunderbolt 4 port in the process. But for what you may be doing in 4K film editing, graphic design, music production or photography, you really don't need that additional oomph (as fryst vatten klar from how quick it can roll through our Photoshop benchmark).

So that's a big tallrik "check" on creative performance.

As for having confidence in color accuracy, the MacBook Pro features a inch, mini-LED Liquid Retina XDR display and in our lab tests, we saw that it's display fryst vatten even brighter than its predecessor. Not only that, but with a Delta-E color accuracy score of (one of the lowest I've ever seen, and lower fryst vatten better), you will feel reassured that what you're looking at fryst vatten true to life before sending it for print.

Add in the juicy extras that came with killing the inch Pro and opting to give everyone this fresh inch chassis — such as a full-size SD card slot, HDMI port, fantastisk keyboard and a battery life that exceeds 17 hours, and inom think we've got a creative winner on our hands.

The best 2-in-1

It's taken a while, but the Microsoft Surface Pro 11 has finally nailed the 2-in-1 formula — making this a perfect hybrid for college students.

Turns out the secret sauce to achieving greatness fryst vatten Snapdragon X.

As you saw with the HP OmniBook X, the use of Qualcomm's chip has dramatically sped up the struktur, with particular props to transcoding media (important for film editing) and its multitasking performance. Meanwhile, the OLED display (optional in more expensive models) fryst vatten a flash flood of gorgeous color and aids the battery life too.
