Ah, the life of the student!

Wake up at the crack of noon, eat supermarket brand corn-based flakes direct from the box, go to a lecture or two, head to the student union, stumble home, stopping to pay by cheque for a kebab on the way, and repeat. Or at least that’s how it was back in my day… and how I imagine it really isn’t these day at all.

No, with sky high university fees, the cost of living being extortionate to the point that it’s borderline impossible to do any actual ‘living’, and vast previous problems during the pandemic meaning mass chunks of education was missed out on, times are tough for those active in academia.

Sadly, we can’t help with any of the above issues, but we can assist your continued studies in our own small way by recommending the best laptops for learning across the budget spectrum.

And not just laptops for uni-types either, but also for those in college and secondary school, after all a top bit of portable tech assists with access to education more easily and also helps all the underpaid teachers and lecturers out there get facts solidly stuck in student heads.

So, if you happen to be looking for the perfect laptop for the scholarly sponge in your life, have a good gander at this little lot. And pay attention, there may be a test at the end.
