Below, I will explain the main problem "why do students need laptops?" along with other issues, "how to determine a good laptop for students?" Accompanied by my opinion and some facts that I got from various sources.
According to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), a laptop is a rather small personal computer, which can be carried and can be placed on the user's lap, consisting of one device that includes a keypad, display screen, microprocessor, usually equipped with a rechargeable battery.
Also, the fact that students also begin to be trained to make presentations in class is true. For this reason, laptops come with all its advantages. What can a laptop do? Easy to carry, and can do multitasking better than a mobile phone. Even though students have very sophisticated cellphones, they also need a laptop for, at least doing school or campus work and maybe for long-term investment. For example, when buying laptops at school or college, if treated properly, it can be used for several years to come.
However, in my opinion, it is not true if every student is required to have a laptop. The price of laptops is still quite high. If a student has a computer in his home, that is enough. At least the data they worked at home they could bring to school using a flash drive and then borrow a friend's laptop. I'm sure his classmates would want to lend it, it's just obliged to treat his laptop well.
Likewise when students want to have a personal laptop, it's good to consider in terms of specifications, screen size and overall performance. But, for students, in my opinion there is no need to have a laptop with sophisticated specifications. The important thing is that the specifications are enough for the needs of doing presentations and multitasking at the middle level.

Why do students need laptops?
In an age where technology has advanced and developed rapidly, every student, both at school and the university is required to always be connected to the internet for all purposes. For example, looking for answers from the homework they are doing, or even conducting virtual classes with teachers and classmates. One device that students commonly use is a mobile phone. Even though mobile phones are now very advanced, they still cannot replace the function of personal computers capable of carrying out multiple tasks simultaneously.According to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), a laptop is a rather small personal computer, which can be carried and can be placed on the user's lap, consisting of one device that includes a keypad, display screen, microprocessor, usually equipped with a rechargeable battery.
