When the time comes to buy a new computer, a user is faced with a wide range of choices. Of course, affordability is a major issue, but there are processors to select, flat screens, optical drives as well as deciding the software suite that to be included. Costs is a major concern and who really has time to waste on shopping around for the perfect computer deal? These days, perhaps the greatest dilemma is whether to get a laptop of a desktop PC. Well, a few years ago, that might have been a valid question, but with the advances in technology, its pretty much a no-brainer that a new notebook is they way to go, especially for students.

Most of you can’t imagine time when there were no Nokia Astounds or LG Allys to help you through your day. I can. When I was in school, I traveled a lot and I can’t imagine how many hours of vacation I lost to looking for my hotel, missing trains or any other series of events that could have easily been solved with a Android or Apple smart phone and a few simple apps.

Getting there apps
There have been days when I would have traded all my travel music to access Google Maps for 5 minutes to find my hotel. Now this ultimate travel is a standard app you can put on any iPhone. TripIt is a smart phone app that tracks your flights and appointments and sends you notices when your flight is delayed and even can offer alternate routes. Getting lost? Apple has an app for the Berlin Ubahn and other apps exist for the Paris Metro as well as the New York and San Francisco subways.

Getting by apps
Getting there is half the fun, true, but that only means that being there is the other half. TO make the most of your time, there are apps like Currency that keeps you from getting ripped off as well as the Lonely Planet Phrasebook available for almost every major language. Around Me is a great app that will find your location and report back to you all the business and places in your surrounding area. Free Wi Fi Finder will also search your location and find the closest spot where you can go online for free. Finally, see an important looking sign in a foreign language? Snap a photo and Word Lens will translate the text on your photograph.
