I too am a broke college student, and have been looking to purchase a laptop for about 6-12 months now. Latley I've been contemplating spending about $5-600 on one, but even that seemed a bit high. With a lot of the sales going on now as Christmas nears, I've seen a few nice ones for about $399 so I might swoop that up. I think it was 256MB of Ram, 1.3ghz processor, and 40 gig HD.

Granted that isn't anything super spectacular as far as the specs go, but I wouldn't need it for gaming or anything. Basically just some regular every day things like e-mail, surf the web, and do some school projects on. Besides, it's not like you can really play any games on any laptop anyway. The integrated graphics just suck balls. Period.

...o...k...

I guess being in Electrical Engineering might be a reason.

Programming, simulations, programs to compute for math...
