Laptop

Does anyone recommend a laptop for nursing school. They use office 365 that will be a free install from my school. Just need it for hw, papers and internet research. Want to stay below $300

Here are few options I found in just a few minutes. I really really recommend ASUS laptops or even Acer nowadays. I tend to stay away from HP since they don't seem to last.

The nice thing about ASUS is that their laptops usually carry a warranty that covers against drops and spills.

I used to build computers and fix laptops before I started nursing school so the above recommendations are from personal experience.

MacBook Pro hands down!!! I used it all through school and no freezing, takes two seconds to start up, and great graphics. Far superior to any PC, at least in my opinion!

I am not sure if you start school in September, but usually right around August Best Buy does money off for students, as long as you have a school email! They also have some on sale now, I would definitely go their and not the Mac Store!

Good luck with school!!!
