I’m Hilda Scott, veteran bargain hunter and deals editor at Laptop Mag, your source for buying advice and savings on back-to-school tech.Once upon a time, I, too, was a student, and I remember when dial-up internet was the norm and how I would crank out term papers on my relic Compaq Presario. I didn’t own a printer, so I would have to hustle to the school library or Kinko’s to have someone print it for me.Fast-forward to 2024, and the college student experience has completely evolved. Professors now accept term papers via email or a shared file. Long gone are the days of lugging around heavy textbooks and flipping through World Book encyclopedias. Now, students can access their entire library on a mobile device.
