As Suzanne said, this is not covered by this newsgroup however...visit the
website for the school you'll be attending. I can guarantee that somewhere
on that site is the school's recommendation for computers. (I used to sell
computers and did A LOT of searching of college sites.)

If you buy a Dell or HP, get the PC De-Crapifier v1.6 (formerly the Dell
De-Crapifier). It will save you tons of grief. Read the information on thei
