For college, I would say get a desktop computer. Using the campus computers is usually more than adequate, and in my experience you will be more productive at school without a laptop. Myabe you're going to type one or two reports in a semester, but you're likely to be spending more time surfing the net than actually working if you have constant access to a computer. And forget about taking a laptop to lectures.
I have a Dell X300 by the way, 1gb mem 40gb hd, 1.4MHz. Works great for everything I do, except photo editing. IMO desktop replacement laptop is a waste of money. You don't wanna haul that shit around anyway, and you can get so much more out of a stationary for the same price. If you want portable, go for the lightest laptop you can get.
