XOXO
im going to college next year and was planning on buying a new laptop because i have had a hand me down for a while now. I had a Dell d600 laptop that just broke ( i spilled water on it ) and i loved it.. it was SMALL which was one of my favorite things about it.. not to mention it was simple and i figure it would be pretty cheap .. ANYWAY any other suggestions to a laptop that would suit my needs (and CHEAP!) links would be greatly appreciated.

I would recommend you to check out ProCompare.com (http://procompare.com/top/notebooks). They have a recommendation engine that ranks laptops and other tech products based on ratings and reviews from a community of trusted IT professionals. They also have a cool personalization slider that lets you personalize the results based on the criteria that are most important to YOU.

Best laptop for college student?

I dropped my laptop and the screen shattered.

ugh
I have a $4,000 limit.
I need something with a lot of memory, and a built in web cam .
I don't really know computer lingo, but I need something with a good word processing application(?) .
Please, I need it by Wednesday.

I would get a nice Macbook Pro (they can't get viruses like PC's do, and you don't have to buy anti-virus software with a Mac!). The 2.53/15" model as it is should be plenty for any student. It has a webcam, dvd burner, 4gb memory, huge hard drive, and it's brand new (they only came out last week!). They are $2,499.

You will need to purchase and install Microsoft Office for word processing. Although apple does have it's own software, Office is most commonly used. That is anywhere from $110 to $149 depending on where you purchase it. It would take about 10 minutes to install on your new laptop.
Wherever you shop and whatever you choose, be sure to use your student discount for 10% off.
You also should go on your college website and look at their recommended specs to make sure that the laptop you pick matches with their recommendations.
Good luck.
