Buying a Laptop for University
You will need to invest in a laptop for your studies if you don’t already have one.
You wont be able to do your assignments on your phone - although it is possible with a tablet -especially if you have a detachable keyboard for it.
This guide assumes you don't have any devices other than your phone and advises about laptops or MacBooks as they are the easiest to use when writing/typing for a long time.
