This is a pretty basic laptop. I'm really not sure what you'll need it to do, but a prebuilt computer is not really going to help you learn about computers, so i recommend you build a new desktop if you are open to that idea.

So you're looking for something for school work only. not something you can expirement on as you learn things in your classes? this laptop would be fine for the normal stuff.
