Shopping for college
JustaMom
✭
My daughter is heading off to college next month and, like my other kids, has Micro Center gift cards to use for it. Usually I ask in the store for guidance on a machine that will work best for the needs of her major and buy based off recommendations, but this year is different and wait lists are real. I am going to try and buy online instead. That all being said, I am looking for recommendations on a laptop for an early childhood education major. She is not a gamer, but does create lots of visuals. I appreciate your guidance, your insight, and your time.

Hello @JustaMom! Welcome to the Community.
I've moved this thread to our Sales category since it's a little better for that section. Do you have a budget in mind for the laptop? Also, when you say she creates a lot of visuals, do you know what programs she uses to do that? -
Thank you for your help.
Budget is under a thousand.
Visuals- probably PowerPoint and I think Adobe? Illustrator or photoshop. Not entirely certain, though. -
If the budget is including tax, then of the laptops we have available for shipping this is what I'd probably go with:
https://www.microcenter.com/product/621310/asus-vivobook-s512fl-ph77-156-laptop-computer---silver
It has plenty of RAM and a good amoutn of storage, and the dedicated video card it has can help with programs like Illustrator and Photoshop for graphics acceleration.
You can look through our full online stock available for shipping in the $750-1000 range if you click this link:

Thanks for your help. It was one that was already on my radar, so I feel a little more tech savvy that I gave myself credit for. Appreciate your time!
