Simran Verma is currently working at Microsoft support phone
number on a year-long internship as an Azure Technical Solutions Professional
whilst she studies Electronics and Computer Engineering at the University of
Hertfordshire. During the short time she’s spent at Microsoft support phone
number, she’s already learned a lot about Microsoft support phone number
technology, particularly in the world of Cloud and AI which is core to her job
role. Outside of work, she enjoys painting, dance, travelling and cooking. She
feels highly privileged to be part of the Be Your Future intern team so
they have a platform to write and share their stories and to make student life
a little bit easier.
As we get into the new year, many students are thinking about
how they can work smarter. They want to make the most of every minute of 2019
and start the year in the most productive way possible. The device that you
choose to support you through your student life plays a pivotal role in your
productivity levels and can really impact your success throughout university.
When choosing a device, you need to consider what your course requirements are
and how you’re going to use it.
Some students prefer to use a tablet that’s lightweight and
portable but gives them access to the tools they need to take notes during
lectures. Other students will prefer to use a slightly heavier laptop with more
processing power. There is no right answer and it’s all about finding out what
works for you and your unique learning style. What works for you, might not
work for your friend and vice versa.
I’d never really considered a Surface device but having spent
the last few months working with one everyday I definitely intend to purchase
one when I go back to university. With so many options available, there’s something
for everybody, no matter how you like to work.
Portable power
If you prefer to make notes in lectures on a tablet so you don’t
have to carry a fully-fledged laptop into the lecture halls along with study
books which will weigh down your backpack, you could consider getting a Surface Pro device and detaching the
keyboard so you can use it in tablet mode. You could even ditch your
traditional notebook. The Surface Pen allows you to take notes like you’re
using pen and paper. That’s a key selling point for me as somebody who is more
of a visual learner.
What I love the most about the Surface Pen is that I can write at my
natural angle. It’s super comfortable and really easy to use. I can write on
top of past-paper PDFs straight away and take screenshots just by double-clicking
the clicker on the pen to place them in my notes for future reference. Not only
that, but your written notes are searchable too and you also have the option to
convert them to text if that’s your preferred format for revision.
A device for every working style
For those of you who are more traditional and prefer a laptop to
type up your notes but still want something that’s lightweight and stylish, the Surface Laptop is probably the better
option. If you work on the go whilst travelling to university or find you are
on the train a lot visiting friends or family over the weekend, having
something even more portable like the Surface Go will allow you to make the
most of every single minute. The Surface Go, which is highly portable, will
meet all your lecture needs, whilst the Surface Studio understands your needs
as a designer, musician, photographer and architect. All the resources are
there to match your creative needs and everything else in between.
Personally, as an Electronics and Computer Engineering student
I’m slightly more swayed towards the Surface Book. It’s a great option for students
requiring high CPU usage and it fits all my needs as a student who doesn’t want
to be stuck at a desk.
All-day battery life
We all know the pain of having low battery laptops. With my
Surface device, I no longer have to worry about finding the nearest socket in
lecture halls. You can leave your accommodation in the morning, attend all your
lectures, and still be able to go to the library for an evening revision
session without needing to plug it in.
An investment for now and the future
The best thing about these devices is that you won’t need to
change them as soon as you finish university. They provide so much capability
for professionals as well. I won’t need to change my device to fit a more
professional environment, nor will I end up feeling outdated.
There’s not one device that’s best for all and it’s all about
finding what works best for you.

best meet your needs.
