Best laptop for a college student?

NEVER GET AN HP LAPTOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they freeze all the time!!!! I got one and it kept on freezing, so I traded it in for another one and it still froze alot. I ended up geting my money back and bought a 15 inch Gateway laptop and it is awesome and has everything I need. By the way, HP netbooks dont freeze. my cousin has one and it works fine. I recomend you get a netbook for college cuz they are small, light, and you can take it anywhere. The choice is yours.
