Good Laptop for College Student?

Frank

This fall will be my first year in college, and i have begun to shop around for laptops. I am an Economics Business Major, but I am also pursuing either a minor or a double major in Political Science. So, i will mostly use my laptop for writing essays, working on PowerPoint's, and excel spreadsheets, and research. I do not want to buy a Mac or a Sony, as i have already determined them to be overpriced, and simply not worth the money (personal preference). So I have narrowed it down to Dell, HP, and Acer. I'm looking to spend somewhere between $400 and $750. I want the laptop to be durable (i.e. not breaking down every other day), portable, and contain good battery life and memory (at least 3 GB of Ram). Thank You!

Most laptops can handle that. But I can tell you right now you do not want a dell or an acer they're the two worst. Dell is a bad company and Acers are built poorly.

HP is a great brand, other great brands are aces, toshiba, compaq and sony. Not all sony are over priced I bought one six months age for $650 dollars, 4GB, great processors, dedicated graphic card and 500GB hard drive. You just have to know where to find them.

So here are some great laptops that will work for you. I only listed intel processors, as you don't want to have AMD.
