Digital Home Thoughts: Best Buy Serving the Student Market

"Best Buy asked college students what they wanted in a laptop computer, and then partnered with leading PC manufacturers HP, Toshiba, Dell & Sony to create the Next ClassTM line of personal laptop computers - available exclusively at Best Buy."

I'm not sure if they quite hit their objectives in all the areas. One of the desired features was long battery life. The best of these offerings succeeds at 6 hours, but the worst is at 3 hours. But, this is good as a one stop purchase that has everything most students will need already on and ready to go. However, I think if you are going to college, you should know how to do things like install software without having your hand held.
