Dell XPS 15 9530 Laptop

This is another solid example of a laptop that can cover the ‘must-have’ college needs: homework platforms, email, and projects. If you’re choosing between a tablet and something like this, I’ll still tell you to lock in the laptop first.

Pros

+Better for university projects and specialized software than a tablet
+More reliable for online homework and exam requirements

Cons

-Less convenient for handwritten notes compared to a tablet
-Can be heavier/less portable than a tablet setup
