Students you can bring your laptop into Australia from overseas but it will be heavy. But if you don't have one and need a new one we have some tips for you. A laptop should have everything that you need and you should spend a bit of time considering your options
1) Budget
This is the major one that trips most people. How much can you afford for it? Will you be better off on a payment plan or not?
2) Research
Do spend a bit of time working out what you need and your options. Do shop around. Find out from other bloggers/review platforms/online as to which one is the more economical. There are so many brands out there so you'll need to do your research.
One good brand for students is ASUS.
3) Technical specifications
Your laptop should have these core things to function properly. You can find this information on the net.
CPU- this is the processing unit
RAM- this is the memory in the computer.
Graphics- if you are doing a design course you would need one with better graphics. Same for blogging.
Battery life- will you be using it around the home or will you use it outside? It will need more battery life if it were to be used outside.
4) Try before you buy
Don't just buy something that will not work after a few days. Do take someone with you for a second opinion.
If you spend a bit of time doing your research and working out budget and needs you should be fine. If you buy a laptop and find that it is not working like it should you can return it. If you find that when you return it that the shop owner won't refund/fix the problem you can call consumer affairs
