Common mistakes when students buy laptops for the first time

Every school year, students and parents face the familiar question: "Which laptop should I buy to study well during the 4 years of university?". However, many people make mistakes because they are in a hurry, follow advertising trends or only care about the price. As a result, the purchased machine is not enough to meet actual needs, quickly degrades or costs more than expected to be repaired.

Not based on actual needs

One of the biggest mistakes that students, especially first-year students, often make when buying a laptop is buying based on emotions without really asking the important question: "What will I use this laptop for every day?".

Many students buy computers for study purposes but have not carefully researched their own needs.

There are two common situations that often occur. First, customers will buy a machine that is too weak compared to their actual needs. For example, students majoring in communications, design, IT, etc. need to run heavy software such as Premiere, Photoshop, AutoCAD, simulation programming, etc., but choose a basic office machine with 4-8 GB RAM, low-end i3 or i5 chip. As a result, the machine is fast, cannot handle necessary tasks, and has to spend more money to upgrade or change the machine after only 6-12 months. Second, users buy a machine that is too powerful - not used, battery drain, heavy and expensive.

Students need to clearly determine what they will use the laptop for: just basic study or need to edit videos , edit photos, play games... For students who need thinness, flexibility, long battery life for studying, doing homework, presenting and studying online all day, Asus Vivobook S Series is a smart choice. The device weighs about 1.4 kg, battery life up to 20 hours, runs on Intel Core i7 chip with 16 GB RAM, ensuring all-day study without charging or lag.

Asus Vivobook S Series offers a sophisticated yet powerful experience with eye-catching design, Intel Core i7 chip and 16 GB RAM.

For students who need high performance to create content, learn design, edit videos or play games smoothly, Asus Gaming V16 with Intel Core i9 chip and RTX 4060/5060 graphics card will be the ideal "weapon". The machine supports AI, optimizes Adobe, Blender, CapCut AI software... Although powerful, it is still easy to carry thanks to its compact design of about 1.95 kg.

Prioritize price with little attention to durability

Many people choose laptops because of the “good price” without paying attention to factors such as keyboard, battery life, heat dissipation, screen quality or case finish. As a result, the machine breaks down quickly, needs to be repaired many times, interrupts learning or costs more to replace components after a few months of use.

Asus regularly applies preferential policies for students, especially new students.

Consider a laptop as a long-term investment for 4 years (or more), not just a "hold-over" device for a semester. A good machine should be durable, compact, and ensure a seamless learning, working, and entertainment experience. Asus Vivobook S has a soft keyboard, sharp screen, and vivid sound, suitable for online learning, watching movies, and group meetings. Asus Gaming V16 is not only durable but also has a smart cooling system, stable when playing games or editing videos, without worrying about overheating.

Skip warranty policy, technical support

Another mistake is not to learn about warranty policies and after-sales support services. Some laptop models have good configurations but poor after-sales service, causing users trouble when the machine has problems, especially during exams or big projects.

With dedicated warranty and support policies, Asus is always the top choice for many generations of students.

Students should prioritize brands with genuine warranty systems, professional repair centers and clear customer care services. Asus is one of the brands with the widest warranty network in Vietnam, supporting one-for-one exchange in some cases and many reputable after-sales programs.
