first year college need something fast entertaining and mobile, and most of all cheap. I just need to know the tech specs, what amount of ram, memory and type of processor would be right for someone impatient.
games, movies, music also
Answer
HDD: >200gb... strongly suggest for games, movies and music! my laptop is 200gb . and i am thinking of getting a 1tb external hdd ~_~
ram: >2gb.. game!
vga: mid range card is 8600gt.... game - movie
speed: core 2 duo 1.6 or better
i think the most important thing is speed and the screen.
w the limit budget, u can think of HP and DEll or ASUS ( Asus sounds strange rite? infacts, it is only behind Sony in Asia)
my cousin just bought a dell inspirion 1420 for about 500 (200discount) fr bestbuy. i think that's good enough, 320gb, webcam.however, the screen is a bit too low to see thing clearly. since u have to use ur laptop quite often for ur college life, I strongly suggest a clear and bright screen.
one more thing, for college, dont choose a too big screen, since the larger screen, the less battery time, and the heavier!!!
DO REMEMBER: never go to circuitcity or bestbuy, frys, office depot unless they giving a sale.. If u like, i can show u how much more expensive those brand sell things... just GOOGLE for a better price!!! besides, i usu use the www.edealinfo.com or www.nextag.com to find deal on laptop.
ok, i've written too much. good luck on a good laptop n college life:D

Answer
Oh, there are many laptops under $1000. Unless you're an avid gamer, there is no reason to pay more.
I tried to ask your question at SalesClark (www.salesclark.com). I typed "I want an ultrathin laptop for a college student, smaller than 15 inches, under $1000". Is this what you meant? It found 181 different laptops currently available in online shops, so maybe you should add what else you want your new laptop for (internet? movies? ms office?).
The cheapest option found was Lenovo IdeaPad (starting at $265).
The laptop with best user and expert reviews was Lenovo IdeaPad for $569.
The only Mac meeting your criteria that can be bought for less than $1000 is Apple MacBook Fall 2009. SalesClark found a deal for $878.
You have plenty of good options under $1000 :-)
