If you’re a student heading off to university – or you’re the parent of one – then now is the perfect time to looking into buying a sleek and powerful new laptop. Not only are modern laptops thinner, lighter and faster than ever before, they’re also powered by Windows 10, which is packed full of brilliant apps and tools to help with studying.
Laptops like the HP Envy x360 are perfect for university life. The HP Envy x360 is a gorgeous thin and light laptop that boasts Intel’s latest 8th generation Core i5 processor, as well as a 360-degree hinge that lets it turn into a tablet-like device for taking down digital notes and scribbles.
It can also be positioned in tent mode, making it a brilliant screen for displaying presentations or watching Netflix when you need to wind down after studying. With 8GB of RAM and a super-fast 128GB SSD, you won’t be hanging around waiting for the HP Envy x360 to keep up with you.
Like the best laptops, it comes with Windows installed, which offers a range of great apps and experiences for university students. For example, Microsoft’s cloud storage service OneDrive can make life so much easier for students. It’s built into Windows 10 and lets you easily save notes, documents and presentations in the cloud. That means you can access your files from any internet-connected device, so even if you forget your laptop, you can still easily grab hold of your coursework. It can be a real lifesaver!
The OneNote app is another great tool in Windows that makes taking notes and putting together projects easy. You can quickly add photos, documents and webpages to OneNote for easy reference. Plus, with Pen support (combined with a touchscreen device such as the Envy x360 or Microsoft Surface Pro), you can jot down notes and highlight important passages quickly and easily.
Window’s built-in web browser, Edge, also makes online studying easier, making use of the latest web technologies to help you revise. Windows Ink support allows you to write notes and highlight webpages directly on the website using a stylus, and you can easily bookmark and save websites to come back to later – or add them to OneNote. Researching has never been so easy.
Of course, it’s not all about work: the latest laptops and Windows make down time easy and fun. University can be some of the best of your life, so you’ll want to make sure the photos and digital memories you take are kept safe and sound.
Windows 10’s Photo app helps you to organise and store photos, both on a laptop and automatically on the web, so your snaps are safely backed up – even those embarrassing ones you’d rather forget from Fresher’s week!
Plus, you can unwind with specially-made Spotify and Netflix apps from the Windows Store, or keep up with friends – old and new with the Windows 10 Facebook app.
Windows 10 – combined with modern laptops like the HP Envy x360, which has the latest technology with premium features – can help transform your digital life, both at home and at university.
