Neuroscience laptop requirement?

<p>I've been accepted as a neuroscience major at the College of Natural Sciences and am in the market for a new laptop. Are there any specific requirements that the major/college has for laptops? I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy the Lenovo Ideapad U430.
It has an
8 GB memory
500 GB hard drive
10 hour battery life
Two 2.0 USB and 1 3.0 USB
An HDMI port
1600x900 resolution
1.6 Gz processor speed</p>

<p>It seems like it would be perfect for any college major, but I know some schools love their macs. Answers? Opinions?</p>

<p>I want to know too</p>
