I am not a student yet, but a laptop is almost a must. I know an engineering major, and he needs a laptop for programs like CAD to do his work. Besides, I don’t think your daughter would want to be stuck in the library/lab all day working on a paper because 1) it can be distracting with a bunch of people 2) it’s inconvenient to have to go to a lab every time she needs a computer
Most people use Macbook air though, which costs around $1000. It really depends on what she’s studying (science vs engineering for example).
