hi,

see since you are from computer science department , you need a laptop or desktop computer must. however laptop is a good option if you are staying in hostel. now coming to electronics devices,  it depends on college projects or technical fest if you want to participate in any of it, students makes small projects which need IC chips, microprocessors, leds etc. so its totally depends on your curriculum and syllabus and your choices to do projects.

however now a days there is many types of laptops , which ranges from 25k-1 lakhs or even more. however you need to consider some requirements to buy a laptop like it must have latest operating system like windows 10, has 1 TB hard disk, processor should be intel i3 or more. if it has preinstalled ms office this would be a plus point. check the reviews before buying any laptop.

hope you may understand.

Hello Aspirant,

if a student is studying in BE/B.tech then laptop becomes must fulfilling his/her requirements because these are technical courses and there are different softwares which can work only on laptop/PC and also for programming PC/Laptop is required.

Yes not any costly laptop is required around 40,000 you will get good laptop which will fulfill all your basic needs required in college but if you have to do some high end work like video editing, gaming and so on then you need to go for some high range around 50,000-60,000.

I hope this information cleared your doubts.

Good Luck!!
