<p>I recently ordered an IBM Thinkpad T42. I didn't receive it yet, but it was a pretty good deal. If you want anything IBM, make sure you get it through the Think Express Program.</p>

<p>Dell Inspiron 600m might fit your criteria as well.</p>

<p>dvd player in a laptop would be great. you dont have to worry about any tv to bring on campus.</p>

<p>make sure you buy a virus protection like maybe Norton. its better than nothing. </p>

<p>I have a Toshiba Qosmio. i love it.</p>

<p>Can somebody also help me out?</p>

<p>I want something cheap, something basically solely for college (to type essays, print, research on internet, etc.). I'm not really into playing games either, except an occasional game on miniclip or something. What should I do? What's a reasonable price?</p>
