Student on a Budget

Laptops are delicate and you'll probably want to purchase new, so consider saving money by buying less expensive processors like Intel's Celeron or AMD's Athlon chips. Buy a laptop with as little RAM as possible from the retailer and shop for good deals on RAM separately. A good-sized hard drive with a read-only CD-ROM and DVD-ROM will get you by until you can afford to upgrade.
