Answer
You can't go wrong and I personally recommend Dell! There are hidden long-run costs that one does not initially see when you purchase a Notebook PC other than Dell, HP or IBM and later encounter difficulties or attempt buying replacement parts like a battery, or say a keyboard etc.
Also since you're buying for college then I do NOT recommend a Notebook PC bigger than 15.4" bec we have 3 DELLs incl a larger 17" Notebook PC and the larger ones are nice but much too heavy to lug around campus as well as too big for lecture hall desks in college...
I mentioned we own 3 Dell Notebook PCs and why I recommend DELL, HP or IBM for those living in the United States is that those 3 particular PC Notebook manufacturers literally supply all the business Notebook PCs to the major corporations and Government so replacement parts are readily available esp on EBAY at even a more reasonable price than the manufacturer website. Thus in the long run, being able to get the exact replacement part extends the life on your investment.
FYI my 1st Notebook PC was Gateway bec I couldn't afford Dell at the time and what a mistake is was when I needed to purchase a new Notebook battery <= costly bec not readily available like Dells... and FYI I also ran into a similar problem when attempting to upgrade the memory.
Note if you are looking for DELL bargains, then visit their DELL OUTLET site...
Hope the Above Info Helps!

You should look for a laptop to fit your everyday needs in this major.
1. Laptop vs desktop
Although a laptop computer allows you to work without being tethered to a bulky desktop, this freedom does come at a price. Laptop computers can cost almost twice as much as comparably equipped desktops, so before you invest you hard earned cash, in a notebook, do consider your motives and options for going wireless.
2.New vs old
Given the limitations and the cost of upgrading of laptop parts and accessories, prospective laptop buyers are generally advised to go for the latest, fastest and most powerful notebook computer out there. However there is a one small problem with following this advice blindly - anything that is âlatestâ is most of the time also âmore expensiveâ (and often unnecessary).
3. The right machine
Notebooks come in a variety of shapes, sizes and weights, and narrowing your choice to the right machine can be a daunting task. It is a good idea to determine beforehand how much you intend to spend on your laptop, by figuring out the intended purpose of your notebook and listing the required features. This will help you in getting the best possible machine for the best possible price. As a rule of thumb, the more features you need, the more cash youâll have to set aside for your laptop computer. Following is a list of components found in portable computers that will help you decide which features to opt for in a laptop.
4.Battery usage
This is a very important consideration for any portable computer user; especially those who need to have a working laptop on the road or in the air. When purchasing a portable computer verify how long the battery will last and it is important to clarify what the standard battery usage life is when using the portable computer in all power modes. It is advisable to look for a laptop with a lithium battery, as these tend to hold their charge longer than nickel-cadmium or nickel-metal hydride batteries, and have no memory effect.
5.Disk drives
Like desktops, laptops have various disk drive storage devices. All laptops have an internal hard disk drive, usually 6 to 40 gigabytes (The latest models offer up 60 GBs). The hard disk drive works the same in a laptop as it in a standard computer, i.e. storing operating systems, application programs and data files. It is advisable to get minimum 20 GB disk space. (Of course, larger is better.)
6.Display screen
Active Matrix (also known as TFT) is the best type of display available. It is easier to view at side angles and minimizes the so-called ghosting effect when the cursor moves across the screen. Large LCD screen sizes, active matrix displays and backlighting will make your laptopâs screen easier to see, but these technologies will also increase the price of the computer. A 13- to 14-inch, active matrix, color screen is worth the investment, especially if you plan to search the Internet often or make multimedia presentations.
7. This One Is Very Important...
Memory
Like a standard computer, memory has always been an important consideration while purchasing a laptop. The more memory a computer has the more efficiently it will run. It is very important to determine the amount of memory included in your computer at the time of purchase and verify whether it is upgradeable. Many notebooks have only one or two memory expansion slots and you will wind up throwing away the old memory when you upgrade.
Lots of thing can help you buy a good laptop....I have a Toshiba Satellite P-105. It's Great
