So I'm off to college and life is great- but since my university offers wireless networking, I've decided, to get a laptop. I want to spend about 2000-2500 for it, but I'm confused as to which direction I should be headed in as far as RAM requirements and processors.

I've done some research, so I've looked around CNet and PC World and read the reviews, but I don't understand why no laptop has a rating that's over 9. So- I've decided to come to the TF for information.

Now, I want your input, the expert computer users of TF

I'll be living in dorm and I'll mostly be using the laptop to do word processing, typing up papers, e-mail, surfing the net- etc. etc. etc.

I'll also want to play some games but I don't need a machine that will blow my mind away or one that will attract a lot of attention.

I want to be able to lug it around campus comfortably without too much trouble. So, which laptops do you recommend?
